I was wondering about this, frankly.
This forum.
- Space Battles is North American leftwingers.
- Alternate history Is in a similar situation but tamer.
- Sufficient Velocity Is even worse than the two.
So, only this forum? Because I've tended to notice that I find in on right-wing forums better due to their greater amount of free speech. The Left is notorious for its cancel culture nowadays, unfortunately.
Axishistory dot com exists, but
1. I have no idea about the politics
2. Appears to be a very slow forum
3. Has some of the same wankers I've seen on althist
You could try the NavWeaps Forum.
Yes the politics sub-forum is a toxic cesspool, but there is a clear line between that and the more sensible sections.
What does the politics sub-forum there involve?

Eh ... neocons did have a positive vision for the Middle East, giving them a viable alternative between radical Islamism and authoritarian dictatorship: Specifically liberal democracy. But the transition from theory to practice was not always easy.

Stuart Slade had(he died on December 2020) his own politics forum(for more than 10 years), even though he started on the NavWeaps Forum.
In-between my departure from AH.com and my discovery of the Sietch, I found Reddit's HistoryWhatIf subreddit to be less insufferable than the rest of Reddit, and AH.com for that matter. That place has really gone to the dogs since 2012 and especially '16. But the Sietch's AH section really is the very first alternate history discussion forum with a truly conservative lean I've found in all my years on the Internet, and it'll probably remain the only one of its kind in the foreseeable future unless the .win people create a creative writing .win anytime soon.
Places like AH, SB and SV (and also Sealion Press, which is run by & composed of AH.com people from what I can tell) are vastly touchier about AH fiction that's favorable to the center-right (much less right-of-center stuff) than they are about far-left wish fulfillment, and at present they have a near-monopoly on the online alternate history sphere outside Youtube (unless you count the AH cartographer types on Deviantart, but they tend to skew left too IIRC). Even bleeds over into AH games like Paradox's stuff, HOI4's The New Order for example is basically a lib/socdem/anarchist circlejerk while Kaiserreich's decline in quality & update regularity correlates with the growth of unironic syndicalists in its fanbase and the steady expulsion of anyone who isn't the softest of conservatives at the furthest-right to Kaiserredux.
Edit: Also, they're not exactly conservative, but Alternate Timelines seems a legitimately moderate and reasonable site as well. Smaller than the Sietch even (despite being an older forum), but from what I've seen the folks running the show there are honest and level-headed - not the kind of admin/mods to tolerate users who try to win arguments by insinuating or outright calling the other side racist or (whatever)phobic, or to do so themselves.
Well yes, that's to be expected - hereditarianism in general tends to spook normies badly and is prone to attracting adverse reactions even from the more centrist parts of the right (civnats and such) pretty much everywhere, from what I've seen. That said, Alternate Timelines is still a vastly nicer place than AH.com and the other big sites I mentioned by leaps & bounds.Even Alternate Timelines is much less tolerant of hereditarianism than this forum is. Here, you can say that people such as Arthur Jensen might have been right without having anything happen to you. There, an identical statement would immediately get you banned for "racism".

Baen books used run a forum with a wild array of ideologies called Baens Bar which hosted several alternate history authors, (Some good and some bad with the later including Kratman) but last year someone wrote a scathing article with high accusations of it being a hotbed of advocating political violence and the publisher was forced to close it for a few months. When it finally reopened they implemented a policy of making the forum restricted to only registered buyers of their media with the exclusion of those already members who are grandfathered in, making it partly pay to even enter.
