More generally authoritarians exhibit two sorts of conservative behavior by definition. Reliance on an authority is in itself moderately conservative. The the really pronounced conservative behavior is conformity. This is routinely derided by internet opposition as "talking points", "mothership", and so on (for example, "dialing in some talking points from the mothership"). This happens no matter where one is on the left/right axis. That's why "psychologically right wing" is a thing.
