Repuclicans are followers of one of two moderate right-wing idealisms currently vying for power in the United States of America.
Like most people, they are well intentioned, and believe firmly in 80's conservative thought, that society should essentially be run on the basis of a firm, fair meritocracy.
Sadly, there are many faults to this point of view. Like most ideologies it fails to take into account much of practical reality. The net result of excessive republicanism appears to be unregulated markets, social inequity, aggressive tribalism and unaccountable power structures run by a wealthy elite.
These excesses run contrary to the ideology's core values, and so it might be said to be self-destructive.

It is questionable whether the United States (and we in the rest of the free world) should be under the leadership of the present president were it not for the partisan nature of the US legal system; in particular the majority of republicans in its upper echelons.

Someone who believes that guns are sacred, unborn babies are more sacred than born babies (especially born babies who are minorities, children of immigrants, or in a poor family), and corporations are people but should not be taxed like people. They also support low taxes for the rich, and higher taxes for everyone else to pay for the reduced taxes on the rich. They also support Trump no matter how badly he acts, and wouldn't impeach him if he murdered someone.
