If Jesus Christ were alive today, would he be a liberal, conservative, or something else? Why?

When you read the Gospels, it's pretty clear that Jesus cared little for politics. When people tried to get him to comment politically, He changed the subject.
Individuals and societies can do as Jesus says while being liberal, conservative or other, so I don't think he would choose any political persuasion. It doesn't matter what you are - loving others and helping others is not exclusive to any political lean.If Jesus Christ were alive today, would he be a liberal, conservative, or something else? Why?

This is not true either. "Render unto Rome..." was a huge political statement about current events of the time.
Render unto Caesar wasn't a political statement. He also showed no understanding of money so the statement in of itself is worthless.
You might want to study on the times. That hit upon the big controversy among the jews at the time. It was very much a political statement, made in very clear political terms. Some Jews to this day think of Jesus as something of a roman collaborator.
If christ came to the 21st century as it is now...
hed spontaneously combust.
