Conservative political thinking (Trump in the US, Bolsonaro in Brazil) is advancing in many countries. Apparently this has specific characteristics, related to the spirit of time (zeigeist). My research aims to know what types exist.
(I ask you to recommend this question to broaden its scope)
Very much Critical w.r .t Social & Political Scienario.
The following are typical characteristics:
1. Small government
2. Fiscal responsibility and limited spending especially on social programs because the party believes that everyone should pull themselves up by their boot straps and not depend on welfare from the government
3. Strong support for the industry without much concern for the environment
4. Belief in trickle down economic theory ; i.e., help the rich by giving them tax cuts and breaks (corporate welfare) so that they will invest and the the benefits will trickle down to the common (poor) folk - a theory that has been debunked by Nobel prize winning economists
5. The appearance that they are a party of God and care for family values and morals
6. A bellicose approach to solving disagreements with other countries
7. A belief in monolithic culture without much appreciation for diversity
Uncritically believe in their version of religion, not sharing mainstream religious believes.
