Maybe they can. The very word "conservative" seems to indicate a
predilection towards static patters of value, does it not? Further, since a
synonym for conservative seems to be the "moral majority," it would appear
that they are largely concentrating at the social level. It would seem to
me, from their actions, that the conservatives tend to defend the social
level from the intellectual and from the Dynamic. Who would
anti-intellectuals put forth as their figureheads? Popular people (famous
actors, yale frat boys) who have a just plain folks attitude, perhaps?
Obviously, not all conservatives are stupid. But the ones that we really
see might just be, and on purpose, to boot.
