We're not. A lot of t public discourse regarding conservative economic thought was framed, of necessity, on opposition to communism.

There is also a strong libertarian streak in US conservatism.

But Trump is notably not particularly in favor of those policies (which are confusing considered economically liberal). And with the decay of the weekly standard crowd, there is very little interest in blind free market/trickle down economic policies left. Things are moving towards a more protectionist and even anti-trust. I'd be happy to see trust busting measures taken to most of the big tech Giants, for example.
