Roughly half the country are god botherers....that it extends to "conservatism" is more a comment on brand loyalty than their actual positions on issues.
Ask a person if they think they should have a quality education or healthcare free at point of access and see if you can get 50% of americans to object to that idea. Ask them if they;d like to see for profit emergency system where the responder answers the call with "911 whats your credit card number?". I think that, if you managed to frame an issue past blatant asshattery and cross interest propaganda..you'd find a hell of alot of "socialists" in the US of A.
Conservatives, in the US, sell their brand on "social issues" (like how much god hates sluts and slut pills and babykillers)...that's their bread and butter. If someone managed to remind them that their god was a filthy commy, they'd fall in line real quick..even if doing so credibly damaged their own interests. We know this, because they already do.
