Reaganite Conservatism

American conservative current associated with Ronald Reagan. It combines lower taxes and a smaller federal economic role with free enterprise, traditional religious values, anticommunism and military strength.

I want free families and communities under a smaller federal government, low taxes, strong businesses and firm defence against foreign adversaries.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 82.5% Federal, 17.5% Unitary (Strong Federal); Representation: 77.5% Democracy, 22.5% Autocracy (Strong Democracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Reaganite Conservatism sits 20.0 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 45% Security, 55% Liberty (Balanced); Immigration: 60% Assimilation, 40% Multiculturalism (Leaning Assimilation). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Reaganite Conservatism sits 13.8 points below it. 128 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 70% Militarist, 30% Pacifist (Leaning Militarist); Intervention: 25% Non-interventionist, 75% Nationalist (Strong Nationalist). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Reaganite Conservatism sits 23.8 points below it. 144 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 15% Public, 85% Private (Strong Private); Control: 18.8% Planning, 81.2% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 30% Protectionism, 70% Globalism (Leaning Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Reaganite Conservatism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Reaganite Conservatism sits 38.2 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 15% Irreligious, 85% Religious (Strong Religious); Morality: 20% Progressive, 80% Traditionalist (Strong Traditionalist). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Reaganite Conservatism sits 18.8 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 72.5% Technology, 27.5% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Reaganite Conservatism, the 22.5-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Reaganite Conservatism sits 15.0 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
