Historian Gregory Schneider identifies several constants in American conservatism: respect for tradition, support of republicanism, preservation of "the rule of law and the Christian religion", and a defense of "Western civilization from the challenges of modernist culture and totalitarian governments."[5] From the late 19th century onward, conservatives have been dedicated to preventing the rise and spread of socialism and communism[6][7]

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like any Democrat at any point in their history. And DEFINITELY not a secular/progressive/liberal. They have always been statists.

The Solid South, which was Democratic during Jim Crow, was the most socially conservative part of the country.

There is nothing progressive about supporting segregation. It was a holdover from slavery.
