[quote author=“Wes”]republicans believe in strengthening the government so my family is all republican
conservatives (republicans) generally believe in a smaller, weaker government, although recently they have pushed for less civil liberties. extreme conservatism is libertarianism, which is pretty close to anarchy. liberals (democrats) believe in stricter government control over the economy, but have more recently supported more civil liberties. strengthening the government into communism is an extreme form of liberalism. i am not promoting either one in this post, i am just giving facts the way i learned them in government class.
