I don't get Capra as a conservative at all. I think he was more of a "populist" in the mold of people like Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin.

A generation gap perhaps? Conservative values evolve.....no legalized abortion in Capra's day.
Nothing then like the culture we have now, teeming with liberalism (PS, diversity, equal rights, etc).
In Capra's day according to the history books, liberals kept under wraps.
Only to reveal themselves when the Red Scare began.
