Social Conservatism

Very strongly agree

No, and minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment

Social conservatives strongly agree with the idea that minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment, as they believe in meritocracy and equal treatment under the law. They argue that affirmative action policies can lead to reverse discrimination and lower standards. This position has been supported by conservative politicians and organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation.

Strongly agree

No

Many social conservatives oppose affirmative action programs because they believe in meritocracy and equal treatment under the law. They argue that affirmative action can lead to reverse discrimination and lower standards. For example, conservative politicians like Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush have opposed affirmative action policies.

Slightly agree

Regardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty

While social conservatives may not be inherently opposed to social programs that address poverty, their focus is typically on promoting traditional values, self-reliance, and limited government intervention. They might support some social programs, but they would likely prioritize other policy areas and emphasize the importance of individual responsibility and private charity in addressing poverty.

Yes, and drastically increase the current amount of programs

Social conservatives would strongly disagree with drastically increasing affirmative action programs, as they generally oppose such policies in the first place.
