City Conservative
Typically a young person, often living in suburban/urban areas who has moderate, centre right conservative values. What separates a City Conservative from their Conservative peers is they are less judgemental and generally open about their beliefs; they will rarely have a party membership and will seldom commit to one political party.
The values of City Conservatives are also often more pragmatic and internal. For example, a city conservative would not voice total opposition to abortion, or shame those who have one, they just would not get one themselves. It is an evolution of the ‘silent majority’ analogy in US politics whereby pragmatic conservatives who want a stable family, a secure job, moral value and a love of country do not want to be placed in the same box as MAGA republicans.
