From my experience, they also believe in high tariffs to protect failed businesses Not true. They believe in NORMAL tariffs as there were used over 200 years of US history.

The reason tariffs were at such a level is 1. the industrial elites at the time (yes, those fat cat capitalist cronies) WANTED protectionism, it had nothing to do with the "common good" of the country and 2. We didn't have an income tax, so DC had to raise funds via tariffs.

Not true. They believe in NORMAL tariffs as there were used over 200 years of US history. Which puts them at ods with their support for the Confederacy.
The truth is that Paeloconservatism was cobbled together in the 1980's as anti-neoconservatism, not as a coherent political ideology.
