Many conservatives falsely believe they are traditional when they are actually radical when you look at the longer tail of history. This applies to much more than farming. Christian evangelical protestants are another great example. Many hold beliefs that are very young and way out of the norm in the span of church history. But they will claim they are traditional. In many cases they are the opposite. Now so are many progressive mainline denominations but that's pretty obvious.
I grew up on Rush Limbaugh and Buckley. I was all in on conservatism until I started reading Ron Paul for myself and that opened a door to the logical and moral problems in the movement. They lied about Paul. They didn't have answers to his arguments. They could do so much better than they do. Trump really is a old school democrat that doesn't care what people say. He's as dirty as the left and will fight dirty. That's why he wins and why they hate him.
In the end both dem and repub voters really only care about winning and getting their way. They are lacking principles and consistency. I hear no solutions. Only force and violence. Its really absurd.

It came up recently, but I think the only solution is Galt's Gulch.
