Someone who believes in working hard for their money and thinks that other people should too. Someone who also feels that handouts should only occur when they are truly deserved, and not just because people don't feel like working or doing anything. Someone who also believes that we should strive to be a debt-free country and stop borrowing money from other countries who could potentially own us. We pay back whom we acquire from and work hard never to owe anyone.
Democrat: Free college for everyone! No student debt!
Republicans: Students AND people will just have more debt in taxes.

There is no reason for Republicans to dislike liberals or left-wing folks. After all, we were all 14 years old at one point in our lives.

A republican is the member of the Republican Party, the historic rival of the Democrat Party. The Republican and Democrat party are the two main parties in the United States. The Republican party was founded in 1854 by the name GOP (Grand Old Party) by opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The platform of the Republican Party of the United States is generally based on American conservatism, in contrast to the modern liberalism of the Democrats. The party consists of moderates, sometimes described as establishment Republicans, and members of the Tea Party or Freedom Caucus, who have been described as populist, right-wing, and far-right. The party also incorporates several other factions, such as Libertarian Republicans, who advocate libertarian policies.
The positions of the Republican Party have evolved over time. Contemporarily, the party's economic conservatism involves support for lower taxes, free market capitalism, deregulation of corporations, and restrictions on labor unions. The party is also socially conservative, and support gun rights, and other traditional values, often with a Christian foundation, including restrictions on abortion. In foreign policy, Republicans usually favor increased military spending, unilateral action, and anti-Communist revolutions, especially during the 1980s and 1990s. Other Republican beliefs include restrictions on immigration, opposition to drug legalization, and support for school choice.
