Various examples of this exist, such as [[File:Flang.png]] [[Falangism]], [[File:Pron.png]] [[Peronism]], [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way]], [[File:Strasser.png]] [[Strasserism]], [[File:Fut2.png]] [[Futurism]], [[File:Nazbol.png]] [[National Bolshevism]], [[File:Popo.png]] [[Poporanism]], [[File:SocCred.png]] [[Social Credit]] and [[File:Saadeh.png]] [[Saadehism]], but SyncLib is more moderate than these, preferring instead to take ideas from ideologies closer to the center (such as [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] and Moderate Conservatism). Unlike pragmatist ideologies ([[File:Radcent.png]] [[Radical Centrism]]) who seek to borrow ideas from the left and right and merging them into one pragmatic system, SyncLib prefers to achieve a neutral stance between the moderate left and right opinions by taking said opinions into consideration and coming up with a solution that pleases both sides of the issue.

Big Tent Liberalism in the United States is found in the Democratic Party.

The early version of Democratic party spun off from the [[File:Jeffersondem2.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Jeffersondem2.png]] [[Jeffersonian Democracy|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 [[File:Jacksonian_Democracy.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Jacksonian_Democracy.png]] [[Jacksonian Democracy|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 [[File:Clib.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Whigs]] to form Demball's fiercest rival, the Republicans.

Up to this point, Demball 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 "[[File:Conserv.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Conserv.png]][[Conservatism|Conservatives]]".

Until the 1980s, the Democrats were divided between two factions: [[File: Lib.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|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 [[File:Soclib.png|link=https://polcompball.fandom.com/wiki/File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism|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.

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.
