Social Conservatism

Strongly agree

Increase

Social conservatism generally supports a strong national defense and military spending to protect the nation's values and interests. For example, during the Reagan administration, social conservatives supported increased military spending to counter the Soviet Union. However, this score is not a 5 because some social conservatives may prioritize domestic issues over military spending.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Social conservatives may support increasing military spending after the deficit is reduced, as they often prioritize fiscal responsibility. For example, during the Tea Party movement in the United States, many social conservatives advocated for reducing the national debt before increasing spending in any area, including defense. This score is not higher because some social conservatives may prioritize military spending over deficit reduction.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Some social conservatives may be satisfied with the current level of military spending, especially if they believe it is sufficient to maintain a strong national defense. However, this score is not higher because many social conservatives would likely support an increase in military spending to further strengthen the nation's defense capabilities.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Social conservatives generally prioritize national sovereignty and may be skeptical of supranational organizations, such as a European military defense system. They may prefer to maintain control over their own nation's military rather than relying on a collective defense system. However, this score is not a -5 because some social conservatives may see the potential benefits of a European defense system in certain circumstances, such as countering a common threat.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Social conservatives typically do not support decreasing military spending, as they believe in a strong national defense to protect the nation's values and interests. However, this score is not a -5 because some social conservatives may prioritize domestic issues over military spending and could support a decrease in spending if it were redirected to other areas they deem important.
