A proper conservative position would be weaker central government. In the US both parties want a stronger central government, just with different priorities.

That would be a proper minarchist position. “Conservative” is more about the aims of government than its size, though in an attempt to build a coalition with libertarians, American conservatives selectively use minarchist language when justifying their opposition to things that they really oppose for purpose reasons rather than government size reasons.
