Why is the US so conservative?

[Antonio the Sixth]

It's a country founded on what you may call conservative ideas. I'm guessing that's really much of the explanation.

I also think it has something to do with how US society was created and even more with how Americans have idealized that process.

But the US were far less conservative until the 1980s (or even the 1990s). While that's true to some extent for most of developed countries, in USA this shift has taken epic proportions.

That's pretty disgusting even for the standards of European far-right.

Because the church has so much influence in the US, unlike other nations.

I don't think so. Hell, even Italy legalized abortion through referendum, and not by a court ruling.
