In Hungary, we have Reagan fans, who think he created “personal individualism” (freedom of expression, a right that is under threat in Hungary), not economic one, and if you describe Reagan’s actual pollicies to them, they think you’re lying, because conservatism was supposed to be a beautiful ideology that marries individualism (in the freedom of expression sense of course) with a love for tradition, not the conservation of power of the powerful. Also these people like to pretend that Viktor Orbán is a communist, because anti-communism also supposed to be a beautiful ideology for freedom.
