“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

You've confused conservative men with conservative male politicians. There are masculine conservation men, though if they crow about their alpha-ness then they're not.

Conservative male politicians are a mixed bag of redophiles, rapists, homophobic self-haters, high school losers who suddenly came into power by deceit, corruption and theft.
