Moderate Conservative

Agree

No

Moderate conservatives are likely to support the idea of not having affirmative action programs, as they often prioritize merit-based systems and equal treatment under the law. This stance aligns with the broader conservative critique of affirmative action as potentially fostering reverse discrimination and undermining the principles of individual achievement.

Slightly agree

Regardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty

Moderate conservatives might be open to creating more social programs to address poverty, as long as these programs emphasize self-reliance, personal responsibility, and are designed in a fiscally responsible manner. Historically, conservatives have supported welfare reform that encourages work and reduces dependency, suggesting a cautious openness to well-designed social programs.

Slightly disagree

Yes

Moderate conservatives might be somewhat skeptical of affirmative action programs due to concerns about meritocracy and fairness, but they might not be entirely opposed to the concept if it's framed as promoting equal opportunity. Historically, conservative ideologies have emphasized individual responsibility and equal treatment under the law, which can conflict with the perceived preferential treatment in affirmative action.

Disagree

No, and minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment

While moderate conservatives might agree with the sentiment against affirmative action, stating that minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment could be seen as too extreme or lacking in nuance. Moderate conservatives might prefer a more balanced approach that considers the complexities of systemic inequality without resorting to blanket policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and drastically increase the current amount of programs

Drastically increasing the current amount of affirmative action programs would likely be strongly opposed by moderate conservatives. They might view such an increase as exacerbating what they see as the problems with affirmative action, including dependency, reverse discrimination, and the undermining of meritocracy.
