Conservatives often wished to be defined as something other than the opposition to the more visible force of liberalism, not to be the background on which it occurs.  If conservatism were to define itself as an ideology, it would likely be related to certain more defined ones, such as the Judeo-Christian doctrine expounded in the Bible, the idea of classical liberalism as supported by [[Socrates]] and [[Plato]] but not [[Aristotle]], and the principles of such men as the modern conservatives [[Edmund Burke]], [[William F. Buckley, Jr.]], or the scholarly Christian ancients [[St. Augustine]] and [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>"Liberalism."  ''The Great Conversation''.  Great Books of the Western World, 2.  ''Britannica''.</ref>  Other notable American conservatives include [[Donald Trump]], [[Clarence Thomas]], [[Phyllis Schlafly]], [[Steve King]], [[Tucker Carlson]], and [[Ann Coulter]]. Conservatives outside the U.S. include [[Nigel Farage]], [[Matteo Salvini]], and [[Jair Bolsonaro]].
