The conservative vision outlined strongly emphasizes reinforcing traditional family values, fiscal responsibility, and national sovereignty. It seeks to realign federal governance with conservative principles, focusing on reducing government size and promoting individual freedoms.

1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect children (e.g., reduce the federal deficit to strengthen the economy and support families, ban federal funding of abortion, support adoption and crisis pregnancy centers, etc.).
   • What happens to households that do not fit the traditional family structure?
2. Dismantle the Administrative State and return self-governance to the people (e.g., fire “un-fireable” federal bureaucrats, eliminate wasteful and corrupt bureaus and offices, muzzle woke propaganda, restore the American people’s constitutional authority over the Administrative State, balance the federal budget, etc.).
   • What are the consequences of dismantling what the document calls “wasteful and corrupt bureaus and offices”?
3. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats (e.g., recognize that China is an enemy of the United States, secure the U.S.-Mexico border, renegotiate trade deals that benefit the U.S., increase domestic manufacturing, regulate Big Tech, hold Beijing-compromised colleges accountable, etc.).
   • In what ways might aggressive stances on sovereignty and trade impact global relations and domestic policy?
4. Secure our God-given individual rights to enjoy “the Blessings of Liberty” (e.g., protect free speech on college campuses and in the public square, promote school choice, defend religious liberty, preserve the right to keep and bear arms, reject socialist policies, etc.).
   • How does the promotion of religious liberty according to this conservative vision affect those of differing faiths or the non-religious?

Overall Implications for Citizens

The pillars of “The Conservative Promise” underscore a movement towards policies that favor specific ideologies and lifestyles.

The vision presents a potential reality where dissenting voices are muted, individual rights are defined by conservative religious standards, and social safety nets are unraveled in favor of deficit reduction.

This approach may create a hierarchy of citizenship where only certain Americans—those who align with conservative, traditionalist views—are fully represented and protected by government policies, leading to a nation that is more divided than united.

By exploring these questions and implications, we gain insight into how the values and policies outlined in “The Conservative Promise” might affect everyday citizens, especially those who do not conform to its prescribed ideals.
