'''Liberal Conservatism''', often shortened to '''LibCon '''is an economically [[Capitalism|center-right to right]], culturally moderate but generally right-leaning and usually center to authoritarian-leaning on the lib-auth axis, ideology. Liberal conservatism incorporates the [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Classical Liberal]] view of minimal government intervention in the economy, according to which individuals should be free to participate in the market and generate wealth without government interference. However, unlike most liberals, liberal conservatism emphasizes trying to conserve this worldview and views any attempts to challenge it as an existential threat. They are also unafraid to be called conservative, even if they're often more socially liberal on certain issues.

Romneyism is based on the political beliefs of [[File:Cball-Utah.png]] Utah Senator and 2012 [[File:RepubUS.png]] Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. Romney describes himself as being a [[File:Modcon.png]] [[Moderatism|Moderate]] Republican. His first major position in politics was serving as Governor of [[File:Cball-Massachusetts.png]] Massachusetts, where he cut spending, increased fees, and closed corporate tax loopholes in order to bring about surpluses. Romney also signed into law the Massachusetts health care reform or "Romneycare" which aimed at providing health insurance to all Massachusetts residents and would ironically serve as a model for "Obamacare".

 

 

In 2012 Romney won the Republican nomination for President and faced incumbent President [[File:Obamium.png]] [[Third Way|Barack Obama]]. Obama criticized Romney for calling [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia the number one geopolitical foe to The United States and for his proposed Medicare reforms. Obama ended up defeating Romney and served another term as President.

=====[[File:Fiscon.png]] '''Austerity'''=====

 

Cameron claimed that austerity served as a deficit reduction programme consisting of sustained reductions in public spending and tax rises, intended to reduce the government budget deficit and the role of the welfare state in the United Kingdom. Some commentators accepted this claim, but many scholars have observed that in fact its primary, largely unstated aim, like most austerity policies, was to restore the rate of profit.

* [[File:Progconf.png]] [[Progressive Conservatism]] - You're pretty similar to me, but at the same time you're not... Eh, never mind.

* [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism]] - My last friend left that hasn't changed a bit. Love you, gramps!

* [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]] - Same as above, though I don't like that you can be so woke these days.

* [[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]] - Besides that schism we caused in the Republican Party in the 2000s, we're alright. (Don't make me cut the military budget though).

* [[File:Nalib.png]] [[National Liberalism]] - Fellow Right-Liberal, but he's way too nationalistic and somewhat racist for my tastes. But at least he's not like [[File:Reactlib.png]] that fool. I'm sorry you got ruined by [[Right-Wing Populism|th]][[Alt-Lite|em]].

* [[File:Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]] - Neutered socialist, but tolerable. I guess I'll incorporate some of their policies.

* [[File:Hcon.png]] [[Homoconservatism]] - Gay rights are needed for a functioning and successful society! <s>Drop the "T" and we're fine</s>.

* [[File:Tradcon.png]] [[Classical Conservatism]] - Waaaaay too traditionalist for my tastes.

*[[File:Nordmodel.png]] [[Nordic Model]] - My main rival in the Nordics. You've flooded our countries with those islamic migrants who outright refuse to integrate into our culture and we have to waste our welfare on them! But wow, those mentioned welfare policies are pretty good though. In fact, so good that I adopted some of them for [[File:Nordcon.png]] [[Progressive Conservatism#Nordic Conservatism|myself]].

* [[File:Altl.png]] [[Alt-Lite]] - You'd better grow out of this edgy phase before it's [[Alt-Right|too late]]!

*[[File:Radcent.png]] [[Radical Centrism]] - Some pragmatism and compromise would be nice but something seems off with you...

*[[File:Consocf.png]] [[Conservative Socialism]] - A lot of you are culturally moderate but socialism and defending regimes in The Third World make me feel iffy about your talents...

*[[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism]] - I wouldn't mind you if you weren't so collectivist, woke and symathetic to socialists.

*[[File:Statlib.png]] [[State Liberalism]] - THIS IS THE FUTURE THAT THE WOKE WANT! <s>Based economics though.</s>

*[[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] - Actual neutered socialism and my main rival in most countries.

*[[File:Liberalsoc.png]] [[Liberal Socialism]] - Liberal my ass.

*[[File:Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism]] - "U sUpPoRt tHe GaY bUt HaTe ThE pOoR" Yeah whatever.

*[[File:Putin.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism|Putinism]] - I thought you were one of us at first. However, it's now clear that what Mitt Romney said about you was true- you lacked any fiber of morality since the day of your reign.

*[[File:Altr.png]] [[Alt-Right]] - Get lost, you wannabe Nazi!
