Asking a Dem vs a Republican what policies they are FOR.

I really can’t tell you what I think the 2023 Republicans are for policy wise.
Other than a “strong border”, “lower taxes and regulations”, name something.
I know what they are AGAINST. womens rights including choice, minorities, lgbtq rights,
gun safety laws, voting rights, etc etc.
But what are they for?

Whereas, if I asked anyone here what you as a Democrat are for, you could rattle off at least five policy positions off of the top of your head.

I’ve decided that this new group of Republicans seriously wants the end of democracy and the two party system. They want a patriarchal white Christian autocracy similar to Gilead in
The Handmaids Tale. It’s frightening as hell.
