From what I've seen and understood, American conservatives have always been opposed to secularism, relativism, and egalitarianism, preferring traditional/historical roles for business, commerce, the State (national defense+law and order), as well as traditional social roles for men, women, and children, and of course, religious and moral absolutes. As a generally progressive person in terms of politics, I don't necessarily relate to these values, but that doesn't mean I don't try to understand them.

On the subject of "populism"-"Middle class" populism is of quite a different ideological focus than working-class populism.
