One of the two major political parties in the US. The Republicans are considered conservative, while the Democrats are considered liberal. Trump is part of the Republican party.

To go over some of the differences of the policy in theory that is,

R - D

pro second amendment - pro gun control
low taxes - high taxes
more economic freedom - more welfare and regulation
pro free speech - anti free speech
more immigration control - less immigration control
anti-abortion - pro-abortion

etc

I guess anti-abortion is the only thing I don't get about the republican party. I don't get why it matters to them that people want to abort their babies if they know they can't give them a good life/they're not mentally prepared to have one/there are too many risks in general. the only thing I can think about is religion, but it's just not a good excuse to be anti-abortion.

No bias here?

It's mainly due to religion and demographics I assume, losing the Christian vote would basically be forfeiting the election to the Democrats every year. Though, I feel like the Republicans and conservatives in general are often mischaracterised as anti-intellectual fundamentalists, and subsequently all of their policies lumped that way, when in reality it's a bit more nuanced than that. Not that any party in the US is good, they're all pretty corrupt and shitty.

The problem was never rich people. But when you have an environment that combines rich people with agendas to push and politicians with favours to sell, what do you expect really. Gotta take the liberty pill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU-8Uz_nMaQ


Sort of related, I've almost got my way through Atlas Shrugged. Pretty good book.

That's interesting because apart from the increased immigration I would think that republics would be seen as highly appealing in the common working class, at least from this brief description.

Is there anything else to trump that make people dislike him so heavily?

Calling every single one of his critics "fake news," to the point where he blacklisted some news agencies from press conferences, and also doing many of the things he called out Obama of doing, but on a much more frequent scale (see: the golfing trips, which he's often criticized Obama for, because of "wasteful spending," when at this rate, he'll surpass Obama on that by a lot). Also, another recent one was the administration's budget, that cut a lot of programs, like the National Endowment for the Arts, for example, and decreased funding to many Cabinet departments, but still increased Obama's already massive defense budget (which, by the way, is more than the next seven largest defense budgets in the world combined). But that last point seems more like a USA problem than a Trump problem, to be honest.

One of my main gripes with Republicans right now is that they're very deregulation-happy, to the point where they'll sacrifice things like environmental well-being so companies can turn a profit (see: the current administration's attitude toward the EPA, and scratching out the Stream Protection Act, essentially allowing industrial companies to dump their waste wherever they please). Maybe if we show these lawmakers some of the incidents that inspired these legislations -- like a river catching on fire because of all the oil waste dumped in it -- maybe they'll change their minds. It was hardcore Republican Richard Nixon that created the EPA, after all.
