AHC/WI/PC: Post-WWII Conservative Counterculture Movement

We've seen a counterculture movement in the US in which the people affiliated were more liberal about sex, drugs, etc. But what if there was a counter culture movement that embraced a lifestyle opposite from the 1960s counterculture movement? How does it have to happen? And what could be the effects?

I can't remember the title just now, but do you know that TL where Walt Disney becomes POTUS?

IIRC, The Mouseketeers become a bit like you ask for, quite terrifyingly so.
 
Well, the counterculture was left-wing because the dominant culture(against which it reacted) was conservative. So your alternate premise might require a world where the dominant culture was left-wing. Which might be a pretty tall order.

Basically, if you were against sex drugs and rock and roll in the early 1960s, you WERE establishment. So no need to go "counter".

I suppose the Objectivists perceived themselves as rebels, against a dominant LEFT-WING social order. And they were pretty hostile to drugs and rock music(and I suspect sex conducted outside of whatever prescriptions Ayn Rand laid down). And even if you think the dominant economic order is conservative, their antipathy to rock music and allied artistic movements places them against the prevailing media culture(which likes anything that sells, even if it goes against traditional vlaues).
 
There is no way, simple because the "system" was conservative, there is no counter culture against a system that you support

If the USA had suffered a massive liberalization in the early 20th century we could see some conservative reaction happening in the 60s, we could also crush the counter culture movement in the 60s as it happens in the World of Laughter
