Title: Are Italian Americans more fiscally conservative or socially conservative? Post by: King of Kensington on January 30, 2017, 10:11:38 AM It seems Italian American conservatism is of a kind of practical "law and order" nature. It's neither a moralistic Bible Belt type conservatism, nor do they seem to be huge free market ideologues.

Post by: TheDeadFlagBlues on January 30, 2017, 09:53:43 PM I'd say that they're more fiscally conservative and racist (on average). Social conservative isn't a label that applies to them imo. In the US, "social conservatism" tends to mean "religious right" and Italian-Americans definitely are not part of the religious right...

Post by: Intell on January 30, 2017, 10:06:20 PM Law and Order conservative, with being reactionary (racially, lifestyle way) though still socially liberal/moderate. Fiscally moderate, with some being fiscally conservative. It's an adherision to order, stability, while not caring a lot about TEH Gays, or TEH abortion, or TEH markets.
