As far as I know, the only high-profile conservative who went to the mat for cuckservative was right-wing novelty act and gay Catholic Breitbart scribe Milo Yiannopoulos. He presumes that since he has “literally taken black dicks in the ass,” his careful analysis of the theoretical racial dynamics at play afford him a sort of Standpoint Theory expertise—the kind of intellectual authority granted only by personal experience. (He also declared earlier this year that “Gay Culture Is Dead.” Evidently he failed to consider that maybe he just isn’t being invited to the good parties.) Yiannopoulos further argued that cuckold and cuckservative are not racist terms because they were popularized not on Stormfront or in some KKK chatroom, but in that bastion of postracial enlightenment, 4chan, which, as it turned out, played no small role in Roof’s radicalization.
On Friday, May 6th, around 20 white nationalists, Neo-Nazis, and fascists associated with Identity Evropa (IE) and the National Policy Institute (NPI) held a rally at UC Berkeley with campus police protection. IE and NPI are part of the growing “Alternative Right,” which includes academic “scientific racists,” pro-rape Men’s Rights Activists, proponents of the ‘Dark Enlightenment,’ and others opposed to ideals of egalitarianism, feminism, and working-class solidarity. These ideas have gained ground under Trump’s campaign and proponents have used it as a point of intervention. Ultimately, their aim is to create an all white fascist state on the North American continent along the lines of the Confederacy, based on these ideals of anti-egalitarianism and white supremacy.
I’ve made my thoughts on Breitbart clear before. But since my departure, they’ve become something far worse than Trump’s Pravda – they’ve become a site that openly panders to alt-right anti-Semitism and soft white supremacism (as Milo assures us, “There are many things that separate the alternative right from old-school racist skinheads (to whom they are often idiotically compared), but one thing stands out above all else: intelligence”). This began in the pro-Trump comment section at Breitbart while I was there; now, it’s filtered up. It’s gotten so bad that even Jack Hunter, former paleoconservative, has written how the alt-right supported by Breitbart “turns you into a racist asshole”; he writes, “It’s a movement that is perpetually somewhere between race-obsessed and explicitly racist – with pride.”

I’ve spent my career fighting the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement; I’ve been a leading critic of the anti-Jewish Obama administration and indeed, of the anti-Israel nastiness of Hillary Clinton. And I haven’t been shy about calling out Jews who have stood with anti-Israel tripe; I’ve stated in the past that Jews who voted for Barack Obama based on allegiance to leftism above the safety and security of the State of Israel are “Jews In Name Only.”
Shame on him for even mentioning that EVIL anti-Semite Hilary Clinton.
Coincidence Detector, which was uploaded by "altrightmedia" — a nod to the alt-right, a fringe conservative movement newly emboldened by the popularity of Donald Trump — says it "can help you detect total coincidences about who has been involved in certain political movements and media empires." The description is, of course, tongue-in-cheek: White supremacists believe Jewish involvement in politics, media and entertainment is part of an enormous conspiracy. The echo is intended to call attention to Jewish people's supposedly corrosive effect on white society throughout Western history.
Did the phrase 'White Supremacists' suddenly pop up in the middle of that quote? Not much of a connection made there so possibly the authors think that the dog whistles are so effective by now that they have to make little effort.

...what's the problem, though? ZOG is a bedrock platform of any system of White Supremacy I'm aware of. They're quite fixated on Jews!

These tend to be associated, but it's hard to say that one is the bedrock of the other, or even if there is any link. I've engaged in and observed discourse where folks who could be described as WS's barely even mention the Jews, granted this has mostly been in a European context and mainly British at that.
This seems to me lazy piece of text that relies on dog whistles and 'what we all know', and goes from "a fringe conservative movement" to White Supremacism in the blink of an eye, and my problem is that plenty of people don't even notice this really course lumping together of such things and are staying dumb as the (alt) right are improving their lot all of the time.
I suppose they could have thrown in 'White Nationalism' in there too and not many would have noticed that some thinking may need to be done here. Strangely they left out 'anti-semitism' which would have been a much more accurate and well know phrase, to the extent that I'm wondering if all this conflation is purposefully dumb, ie a method to dampen critical thinking and thereby enhance the emoting.
