You believe in preserving traditional values and institutions to maintain social stability and continuity.
Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation of traditional institutions, practices, and moral values. It is rooted in a resistance to rapid change and a preference for gradual evolution, with a strong focus on maintaining social stability and continuity. The ideology often advocates for limited government intervention, free market capitalism, and individual liberties.
The origins of conservatism can be traced back to the late 18th century, during the period of the Enlightenment. It emerged as a reaction to the radical political changes brought about by the…

When faced with a controversial issue, how do you weigh the perspectives of tradition and innovation?
@9KT8FVV5mos5MO
It is important to look at our history of success and methods that have worked. When people can find a common ground that lasts, people can unify. However you must consider the alternatives and progressive options and weigh them against the old.
@9KTJSQGProgressive5mos5MO
Tradition is wrong 99% of the time. Tradition has a history of systemic inequality for literally all groups who are not straight white dudes. Just because we did it in the past does not make it good considering the US's history of war crimes, injustices and oppression. Unity is not needed, just because 30% of the population believes something does not make it correct or true. We can put effort into trying to convice them but after a certain point some people are just unreachable. In the case of things like climate change, deniers are in the vast minority and are just flatty wrong. If at this point they are still deniers no amount of effort will change that. Pushing for consensus here means no progress is ever made despite most people wanting change.
@9KT7ZHD5mos5MO
I would look at tradition and see the outcomes on the topic and if it needs to change then find ways to innovate otherwise leave it

provides a quantitative, objective, and persuasive platform on which to base an argument, prove a claim, or support an idea. Before a set of statistics can be used, however, it must be made understandable by people who are not familiar with statistics.
Almost always side with tradition.
@9KT7VFW5mos5MO
For any economic, domestic policy or foreign policy decisions, stick to the constitution. For culture related issues, the government should have no say.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Do you feel that traditional values in your life are under threat by modernity, and how does this make you feel?
I feel that traditional values must change to adapt to our changing culture. Conservative beliefs and values are often discriminatory and cause so much hate and hurt minorities. The government must throw tradition out the window to be an effective government.
@9K73PYG5mos5MO
Yes, I am not a fan of more liberal movements such as LGBTQ especially. The concept of switching genders is unnatural, plus the operation has countless health risks in the long run. In addition to psychological problems gvwhen you pressure these ideologies onto young children.
@9K73N3M5mos5MO
Yes, it makes me feel like we're losing our sense of value within our community.
@9K73SF35mos5MO
I don’t think my values are under any threat at all. The changing times should not make you feel threatened to change your traditional values. Everyone has a right to have their own beliefs and values and I don’t think anyone should have to feel “threatened” just because the majority doesn’t have the same exact traditional values as them.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Why might someone of your generation choose to uphold values from an older generation?
@9KSL9XK5mos5MO
Because of the environment, they were raised in and it upholds the values expressed in one's family.
@9KSCV6Z5mos5MO
because of the success the generations before us experienced
@9KSD58Z5mos5MO
I think that people from my generation might choose to uphold values from the older generation since they re wiser then us
Lack of an open mind and adaptability, afraid of change.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
How do you approach the idea that some traditions may perpetuate inequality, and does this affect your stance on conservatism?
Something that has always been incredibly important to me is equality between people regardless of who they are, what they look like, etc. I tend to stay away from conservatism in a lot of matters because I don’t like some of the ideas that it promotes and I don’t feel that it adequately covers all my opinions.
@9H9GH3Z8mos8MO
I don't like the old racist/sexist/homophobic ideologies of conservatism
@9H9HPQR8mos8MO
Conservatism is very old and traditional and doesn’t fit with today but to each its own.
@9H9HLMM8mos8MO
I **** ing hate conservatism and I am not the one to be asked.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution8mos8MO
While I do admire your articulate, manful, and polished prose and rhetorical brilliance, as well as your great admiration for upholding the integrity of our great language through refraining from dispensing profanities, I must lamentably disagree with you on this one issue. But still I would encourage to persist in acquainting yourself with the beauties of our language, that your already admirable skills in writing it may be all the more multiplied.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can you describe how preserving a family recipe has connected you to your heritage?
@9KV8WF8Republican5mos5MO
I do not have enough information to form an opinion on this matter.
@9KV98QQ5mos5MO
Through the preservation of our family recipe we were able to understand the significance of each ingredient and the origins of it
@9KRT2C5 5mos5MO
No, unfortunately recipes in my family are all unhealthy.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
If society's traditions conflict with modern values, should they be preserved or reevaluated?
@VulcanMan6 8mos8MO
Traditions are worthless on their own. If a tradition conflicts with modern values, then that tradition should absolutely be reevaluated, at the minimum.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution8mos8MO
I strongly disagree with you. Traditional values like hard work, the nuclear family, Christianity, patriotism, and respect for veterans are highly beneficial for society. If we ditch or "absolutely ... reevaluate" traditions when they conflict with modern values, we lose all the wisdom of the past and embrace the constantly-evolving, fickle dictates of fashionable opinion without regard to civic virtue or common sense. This is dangerous and must be stopped.
@SmithDylan8mos8MO
Reevaluated, Traditions that are inherently wrong shouldn't stick around. Just because it's traditional doesn't mean it's right, just, or good for the world.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Can you describe a historical event where conservative principles played a positive role, and how does that resonate with you?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
The American Revolution – because of the conservative and Christian spirit of our Founders, the Revolution was not the bloody Reign of Terror suffered in the French by the Jacobins, and did not lapse into a tyrannical dictatorship, as Napoleon led France into, but rather became the freest and greatest nation in the history of the world.
@9HYHQWD7mos7MO
The well being of the american tradition and spirit during the 1900 hundreds.
@9HYHRWYLibertarian 7mos7MO
I cannot think of a time that it played a positive role.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
When have you chosen a conservative approach over a more modern one due to personal or family values?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
When I refused to use the so-called "pronouns" of a man who thought he was a woman, and watched his face turn red as a tomato
@9HWFZ967mos7MO
I am a more conservative man, and I do take action not just in politics, but in everyday life to be more conservative with energy, money, and opinions.
@9HWG223Republican7mos7MO

@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
How do you perceive the role of family traditions in shaping your identity and values?
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Is there a particular tradition you would fight to preserve—why does it matter so much to you?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you ever felt pressure to uphold a family tradition and how did that impact your personal choices?
@9K95JNN5mos5MO
No, I have never felt any sort of pressure to uphold any of my family's traditions, and I am well capable of starting my own traditions, when I start my own family.
@9K956N7Republican5mos5MO
ive never felt pressure to hold a family tradition i want to keep it going and keep the tradition alive.
