Big Tent Liberalism also known as Syncretic Liberalism is a political ideology that seeks to incorporate elements of various types of liberalism as to accomodate a common goal.

Big Tent Liberalism in the United States is found in the Democratic Party.
The early version of Democratic party spun off from the Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, which split over the choice of who would succeed president James Monroe. The Democratic Party was founded by
Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, both of whom supported Jeffersonian principles. Its original rival, the American System, went bust over the issue of slavery in the 1850s. In 1854, anti-slavery Democrats left the party and joined with some anti-slavery
Whigs to form their fiercest rival,
the Republicans.
Up to this point, Democrats supported limited government, state sovereignty and slavery, while opposing banks. Following the Civil War, that all changed when Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected into presidency in 1932, came forth with a wealth of government programs called the New Deal. New Deal liberalism meant the regulation of business and the promotion of labour unions, as well as federal spending to aid the unemployed, help distressed farmers and undertake large-scale public works projects. The opponents to the new deal started calling themselves " Conservatives".
Until the 1980s, the Democrats were divided between two factions: liberals in the North, and conservatives in the South. After Roosevelt's death, these already quite opposing groups grew even more polarized. This eventually led to most conservatives jumping ship to the
Republican Party, thanks in part to the Southern strategy, a republican electoral strategy to increase their white voterbase by promoting racism and pushing against civil rights.
In modern times, the Democratic Party remains with social liberalism, with some more leftist factions within it. Their most recent victory was the election of
Joe Biden, former Vice President of the United States in 2020.
Personality
Stylistic Notes
Syncretic Liberalism is always seen under a tent, which follows him around wherever he goes. The tent does not need supports to stand up, and can be as big as SyncLib wants it to be. Inside the tent, there are many amenities for the ideologies within it, like food and bathrooms.
How to Draw
Drawing SyncLib is quite simple:
- Draw a ball.
- Fill it with Payne's grey.
- Draw a white liberalism symbol (a circle and 5 white lines going through to about halfway, all coming from the bottom left of the circle, the same color as the ball's body).
- Add eyes and color them light cyan.
- Draw a tent outline with phthalo blue, first drawing the top of the tent and then the bottom.
- Color the top of the tent with Saint Patrick blue.
- Color the inside of the tent Oxford blue.
- Done!
Relations
Friends
Third Way - Fellow liberal who loves to compromise on issues.
Liberal Conservatism - Makes older Democrats think I'm a viable strategy
Frenemies
National Bolshevism - Hey, while we should incorporate both left-wing and right-wing ideas, uh, please don't go that far left or that far right.
Dead Centrism - I like moderatism, but you take it too far, which defeats the point of moderatism. Also, we should incorporate ideas from both sides, not just go directly between all of them.
Enemies
Social Democracy - I do not take advantage of older Democrats who are desperate to return to a bygone era of compromise! Also, stop saying I'm a fake centrist because I don't find a midpoint between capitalism and socialism!
Paleoconservatism - Keeps saying big tents are bad, I don't like it, he's mean!
