Independent with some Libertarian leanings
I haven't come up with a name for my political ideology but I consider both the Democrat and Republican parties to be too authoritarian and both parties need to be abolished.
It is time for America to be the country it was meant to be from the very beginning. America needs a rebirth to become the free nation it's supposed to be.
I still have 60s, 70s liberal values like peace, love, open mindedness, tolerance; love of liberty, fairness and justice; distrust of authority, and opposition to aggression/war.
Yeah, I was kind of a hippie in high school.
In the 90s, I lost respect for the Democratic party when it turned openly neoliberal. After Bill Clinton's first term, I voted independent until I voted for Obama when he first ran. That was a mistake. Mr. Hope and Change turned out to be a lying, radical neoliberal, just like the rest, so I voted independent when he ran the second time and up to 2019 when, for the first time in my life, I voted for a Republican, Trump, in order to defeat Biden.
Since the early 2000s, I realized that partisan loyalty and identification with labels was a very bad idea. I don't follow the herd and don't fit in a box. I develop opinions on individual issues based on information. I get information from a variety of independent sources, NOT from corporate media. Again, I develop flexible opinions, not dogmatic, ideological beliefs. Beliefs are rigid, based on emotion. Challenging them can stir cognitive dissonance. Opinions can be revised or changed as more information becomes available.
I used to have a lot of liberal friends. But our values gradually diverged as they adopted radical "wokism" and became rigid in their beliefs by consuming an exclusive diet of mainstream media and associating with only like-minded people. If I had a different opinion on even one single issue, they accused me of becoming right wing, listening to Alex Jones, or being Trumpster.
What passes for liberalism these days is antithetical to my values. Fuck censorship, authoritarianism, divisiveness, tribalism, violence, open borders, corporatism, Zionism, and efforts to spread transgenderism.
I still have some very bright and informed liberal/progressive friends. They are the best; the "conspiracy theorists" who search for truth and question everything. They, too, have moved beyond partisan politics and ideological labels.
But I also have many conservative friends now. Even though, we don't agree on everything, I find them easier to get along with. They tend to have a non-confrontational, live and let live attitude. And we do agree on quite a bit
I've been to large, anti-covid mandate rallies with men and women of all races, ethnicities, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, political ideologies and walks of life. Everyone treated each other as brothers and sisters, regardless of their differences. Those are my people.
When a black kid in our (predominately white) community was harassed and threatened one night by some white kids in a car while he was walking home alone, I went to a similar rally to support him, and demonstrate that racism would not be tolerated.
In the 1970s, I went to similar rallies to support the civil rights movement.
Many liberals and conservatives are capable of getting along with each other as brothers and sisters. But politicians and media try to divide people. In fact, divisiveness is a major tactic in the elite, globalist, New World Order agenda.
I've taken tests to determine where I stand ideologically. I'm somewhere on the left-libertarian (libertarian socialist) spectrum.
Your question is difficult for me to answer lol... I would define myself as a "Bonapartist".
Bonapartism is characterized by the fusion of revolutionary and conservative ideas, and popular support for the head of state. It is based on the idea that the nation is superior to parties and classes, and is capable of maintaining order and national greatness.
Bonapartism recognizes democracy as the principle of all sovereignty, but restricts it to the expression of universal suffrage, and the separation of powers is necessary to avoid abuses and authoritarian drifts. I believe that individual freedoms are important for the development and diversity of citizens. I believe that Bonapartism must adapt to changes in society and to the democratic aspirations of the people.
It considers that the people should delegate their authority to an elected leader, who acts in their name and for their good.
Bonapartism adopts liberalism as the foundation of the economy, but is not opposed to state intervention where necessary. It favors industrial development, trade and infrastructure, while seeking to protect the weakest through social measures. It sees itself as a progressive, modern regime.
If I had to answer the question "Would you consider yourself a Conservative? Liberal? Moderate? Or perhaps having other thoughts on the matter", I'm both "conservative" in the sense that I defend the social order, traditions, institutions and values inherited from the past. I am opposed to radical change and revolution, which I regard as dangerous and destructive. I advocate prudence and moderation. and "liberal", but I don't recognize myself in the traditional parties.
I know it all sounds very contradictory 😅 I don't even know if the answer is clear 😭🤣
Extreme conservative politically but not a member of any party.
I denounced my US Citizenship two years ago once it was unveiled that our US and many state governments are currently run by Marxist Communists and reverted back to an American Citizen as all those born in the US are originally born as.
I am an extreme liberal sexually

Growing up in the punk rock scene in the 90s, I was a hardcore communist and anarchist. However, as time went on and things became ridiculous throughout the 2010s, I slowly moved towards Conservative. I no longer agree with what the left is doing.
I am a classical liberal.. the following image describes me perfectly.
I don't consider myself politically anything, nor will I get involved in it. I've had several past experiences with people across the country who made it clear to me when I DID used to have views, that because of my views, I didn't deserve any human rights whatsoever. Most Americans now just want everyone else to think,, look and act like they do, and agree with everything they say. The only people I've met who I can openly converse with are immigrants. Arab, Latino, Asian, etc. They think from a perspective of having lived globally, not just sitting around on Tik Tok or watching CNN.
Both the right and the left are so fanatical and extreme now that I wouldn't identify with either one. I'm closest in perspective to a classical liberal like Noam Chomsky. Free speech ( real free speech, not cancel culture), anti-war, live and let live, etc.
u none of these... I just don't automatically subscribe to any political leaning out there
that would be limiting myself and I am not into that
Far left and hate politics.
The only conservative view if one wants to call it that is I agree with death sentences, everything else conservative is just dumb.
Also with death sentences I don't really agree with how they are done though many are killed when there is reasonable doubt, and many on death row get found out to be innocent.
I only agree with death sentences if the crime is proven without a doubt.
I always vote for the least stinky candidate.
Did you know that Donald Trump smells like a combo of ketchup, armpits & butt?
Fiscally I'm a conservative, socially far more libertarian. Largely I don't care what you do if it doesn't impact me meaningfully, and I don't want a "moral" government any more than I want a moral screwdriver.
I am a middle of the road Independent, with some liberal and some conservative beliefs. I don't like being called a Moderate since some of beliefs are considered by some to be extreme, so I voted for Other.
Centralist, hence why I love South Park. Matt Stone put it brilliantly: "I hate conservatives but I really fucking hate liberals"
Iām a moderate and lean right. Def not liked by those on the far right and left
I've always viewed myself as a conservative. Realistically though I'm probably closer to a moderate.
Independent, right leaning. I stay within grounds of what is practical and reasonable.
Iām basically a libertarian.
Conservative through and through. Mind you there are slight variations in Europe compared to the US on what makes conservatism, but only slight ones. The fundament is the same.
On American standards i'd consider myself conservative.
In reality I am a liberal nationalist.
I got Liberal on a quiz
I used to consider myself as a moderate and I would vote for the best candidate. The democrats have gotten so crazy that I had to take a side and I vote Republican most of the time.
Politically, moderate leaning liberal.
Change is inevitable in life so I believe politics from time to time have to change and adapt.
Fuck politics its just a game of who wins and who loses
Conservative, constitutional republican
