It seems to me that his authoritarian personality is one of the things they find most appealing about him. As long as his desires are congruent with theirs, I doubt that skirting the Bill of Rights would bother them much.
I don’t know how far he would be willing to go in that direction. Probably wouldn’t be too bad. I think his supporters would give him much more leeway than I would. Much more leeway than I would give my prefered candidates, too.
And having been granted to him, how do we deny it to a less agreeable successor?

That pretty much describes people very far from conservative, but I sadly think you are right.
