Liberal Populism

"Not to be confused with ."

Liberal Populism is a civically moderate, liberal reformer, populist ideology. It is economically center, politically center-left to center-right, and diplomatically patriotic to nationalist.

Beliefs & Ideas
Liberal Populism is a populist ideology that overlaps between uniquely liberal ideas where individual freedom should be the anchor for promoting a common good and that government should be representative of popular will. Individual freedom would be defined by either freedom from excessive government intervention, or later defined by freedom to determine their own lives. These beliefs are advocated for via a populist thought that a small group of people in society who disagree on broader policy, opinion, or act against their interests, are an enemy and possess disproportionate power.

Liberal Populists then believe in the interest of freedom and the common good, it is necessary to counter their opposition's disproportionate influence or harm towards their cause. Although they extend civil liberties to their opposition, Liberal Populists advocate for institutional reform and norm-breaking even within established liberal systems of government if it makes the government more representative of popular will with respect to those in the electoral minority.

United States
For left-leaning LibPops this may come in the form of abolishing the electoral college, abolishing the senate, packing federal court seats, adding seats to make the supreme court proportional, and pushing for term limits for Justices and Senators in different states.

For right-leaning LibPops this may come in the form of aggressively redistricting congressional maps in red states, packing the Supreme Court, and passing restrictive voter laws in red states.

Personality
LibPop is your average political zoomer that views injustices of the world with sincere and passionate anger for those who reinforce systems that transgress on the freedoms of a minority. If socially left-leaning, being a headstrong and divisive trailblazer, Left LibPop is outspoken about confronting inequity and discrimination on the basis that everyone should be entitled to fair conditions as a means to increase their freedom of self-determination. If socially laissez-faire, being an aggressive provocateur, Right LibPop is unwaveringly self-confident and enthusiastic about confronting proponents of systematic overreach from both progressive and conservative activists on behalf of rugged individualism.
