I grew up around mostly conservatives and lets be honest here-many DID speak favorably about forced sterilization,abortion and their fear that “they”-meaning blacks and Mexicans”breed like rabbits”and that this was not good for the white race.

None of rhe conservatives I grew up with nor any that I have encountered in many years of political activism ever held any views like that. And such views are utterly incompatible with conservatism.

I agree that no self respecting conservative would hold such views.
All I can tell you that on a many a summer night as a child at Lake Tahoe,I sat around as adults sipped gin and tonics and warned of racially”inferior”people taking over.Almost all of these folks were good Republicans.
I agree with you these views are repugnant.But they were commonplace in my upbringing.

Conservatives, no, blue-blood Christine Todd Whitman Republicans, yes.

Best example is probably the reference to the book Tom Buchanan is reading in The Great Gatzby about the dark race population explosion. It is very subtle - but true.
