Majority of Americans are conservative on moral issues and liberal on economic issues. That is why old style New Deal Democrats were so strong and that is why Reagan got votes of "Reagan Democrats" only after the left became decadent.

It's impossible to be conservative on moral issues and liberal on economic issues if you expect to have a stable social order in place. What you failed to mention about "old style New Deal Democrats" is that they established and perpetuated a system that is based on unsound economic policy (which has nothing to do with "liberal" vs. "conservative") and is ultimately doomed to collapse.

Majority of the country does not agree with you.

Somehow America did not collapse yet. Do you really think that abolishment of Social Security. Medicare, Medicaid and public schools will make America stronger?
