Exclude abortion and it's the South-East of England, without a doubt.
The DUP is a horrid standard bearer for Northern Ireland, and the party owe their survival only to our strong rigidity in voting patters. Eastern Londonderry voters, for example, don't care for the fire-and-brimstone Bible prophetising, and certainly aren't proud of the shameful corruption of the DUP, but it's almost baked in the identity of older generations. Years of warfare do strange things to people's democratic instincts, few here would understand it.
Give it 10 more years of generational change, and the DUP will be kicked out of Belfast and lose Stormont. Then you'll realise that England was the true problem behind the chaos of Irish politics, as it has always been.
Besides, social issues in the North would not map well to any American conservative's scale.
