Abortion: Pro-life with exceptions for rape, incest, and when the mother's life is at danger

Drugs: Pro-recreational marijuana, reluctantly against recreational use, against decriminalization of most drugs

Voting rights: against 16-year-olds getting the right to vote, against prisoner's getting the right

Defunding/abolishing the police: the "defund the police" movement is the most laughable thing I've seen in quite a while and it's unfortunately tainting the Black Lives Matter movement as anarchists that wish to incite violence.

CHAZ: Nope.

Border wall: Build where it's useful, don't build where not useful
