> In which way are those?

Sure. Let's go over a few topics. Please don't argue with me about them. You asked for my beliefs, not a debate.

1. Police -- I believe we need more police and more jails. I don't at all understand the democratic concern over mass incarceration. If someone has committed a crime, they should be in jail. The concern I often get from white liberals (I'm not white) is that white people are not being punished for the same crimes non-whites are. That's a terrible thing if true, and I believe we should have more jails and police in that case. Police are a form of government. I would happily pay more taxes for more jails. In my city, people are routinely released due to no prison space, and in several instances have gone on to kill their victims (i.e., a domestic abuser now is a murderer; easily prevented had we kept them in jail). I actually would pay 100% of my income in taxes if it meant we actually kept people in jail. Law enforcement is a basic responsibility of the government.

I am not against social programs to help economic development to attempt to deter people from criminality. However, releasing people from jail is not a meaningful way to lower prison stats.

2. Social Life -- I believe the government should be more involved in community and social life. I believe the government should institute programs to prevent divorce and encourage marriage and child-bearing. I would also like to see the government actively promote stay at home parents via the tax code. Marriage should be encouraged. Those taking care of elderly parents should receive heavy tax breaks. Tax brackets should be changed to be even more progressive for single income earners / married couples without kids. Social media for children should be banned. Pornography should be restricted to adults who can prove their age (exact same standard as strip clubs and night clubs.. it is ridiculous my local tiki bar has more regulations regarding minors entering it than pornhub). The War on Drugs should continue. Social media of particular community sizes should be highly regulated in what kinds of speech they can censor / what ways they can censor it (censorship should be opt-in, not imposed).

3. Economic development -- The government should take an active approach to managing American imports / exports, including taxation standards, preferences for buying American made goods, active punishment for companies choosing to do business with non-friendly states, like China and Russia. We should by and large adopt an America first mentality on economics and defense issues.

4. Immigration -- The federal government quite obviously needs more immigration enforcement, including physical barriers. I cannot honestly comprehend how people do not understand this. By and large our drug problem is caused by the Chinese communist party wishing to replay the Opium wars in reverse via the importation of cheap Chinese fentanyl via the Mexican border. This is a major national security concern. The government should immediately levy a tax of whatever amount necessary to construct a wall / fund border agencies.

5. Education -- The American education system needs to become more efficient. Useless educational programs subject to the whims of principals and administrators seeking their latest degrees need to be eliminated (my mother taught at an inner city school... I saw what happened there). Eliminate the 'right' of violent children to an education in the normal public school system. Eliminate government grants for majors not deemed in the national interest. Full scholarships for those studying subjects the country needs.

I have never heard a democrat politician of any importance speak to these concerns. The democrats are ambivalent towards policing / (in my state at least) are attempting to lower the number of people in jail with disastrous affects / unwilling to criticize the more extreme ends of their party protesting on the streets and driving up the cost of policing. In terms of social life, it's an anything goes sort of policy. Economic development... well they've finally come around to it after years bashing Trump and other republicans (remember everyone making fun of Romney for saying Russia was the biggest national security threat... jokes on you!). On immigration, there is just denial. On education, sometimes they're into it, but mostly they just spend money on things that are useless. for example, my city is funding universal pre-school and day care, which is just dumb. Parents should be able to stay home with their children; this policy only further encourages the separation. Terrible.

> I don't want this to sound like a snarky "[Citation Needed]", and I believe you believe that, but how are you so certain that this is true and no just your local circle or your own projection? I mean Ted Nuggent just called Zelensky -a man with a wife- a gay man at a political rally. I don't see what you are saying reflected in the republicans I see.

I'm a republican; I've been a republican for many years. I know a lot of republicans (on the west coast at least). That's my source. I don't know who Ted Nugent is.
