Pretty sure the majority of the US conservative base is not wealthy. Only the top 0.1% has benefited financially from recent changes.

I think it has a lot more to do with someone's own experiences with government. I've lived in areas with corrupt local governments and incredibly well run governments. I can absolutely understand those who live their whole lives under corrupt local governments, the ones they actually interact with on a regular basis, thinking every other one is just as bad and wanting it as limited as possible.

Then of course there's the more hate oriented agendas, but calling those merely conservative feels like we're being too kind to them.
