Ancient* Rome too, "When you lift their dress, you find none other than a populare!" "We need to go back to family values!" -Conservatives of yore, the Optimates ("Optimal people", the elites, rich assholes with private security, who's usage led to the chaos that ended Rome).

"Plebs dance too lewdly!" "Women are too sexually independent!" "Gay marriage is making our men weak and effeminate!" are also classics from Roman conservatives
