Which wing of the GOP do I belong to?

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Inspired by the BRTD thread:

-I supported, in turn, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz in the 2016 primaries
-I voted for Donald Trump in the general election and was quite happy when he won, but I also wish someone more conservative had been nominated
-I support TPP and NAFTA and think economic nationalism is stupid
-I'm most concerned with the traditional social issues like abortion and religious liberty.  I believe that the ends justify the means (precluding violence) towards ending abortion, so I have no problem supporting a pro-life candidate with a major scandal against any pro-abortion candidate.
-I strongly support the NSA and the PATRIOT Act.  Likewise, I have no concerns whatsoever about corporations like Google having my search history and the like.
-I hate all identity politics and mentions of race/gender/nationality in any context
-My economic views are so far right that my idea of tax reform is repealing the 16th Amendment at the same time as passing a balanced budget amendment (yes, this means that we would probably have to cut government spending by 75%)
-I believe that illegal immigrants should be given legal status, but not citizenship.
-Secularism is the biggest threat facing America today, and the GOP needs to drop anti-immigration rhetoric to win over Christian Hispanics and double down on social issues to win Black Evangelicals.
-I don't like things like people kneeling for the national anthem and I would root against a team with Colin Kaepernick, but I am not horrified by it enough to boycott the NFL (and the 95%+ of players who stand for the anthem)
-I don't care about "draining the swamp" or "taking money out of politics"
-Drugs should remain illegal (and I secretly wish it was practical to make alcohol and tobacco illegal too)
-If I had to deport a group from America, I would deport vegan hipsters

Globalism wing at core, just way more conservative both economically and socially than most blue avatars here or even IRL, but you're no Trumpist.

[The Govanah Jake]

Option 3 but probably a mix between the Tea Party, Establishment types, and the Globalist types.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Cuck wing.

[Grassroots]

Globalist esque, but not a RINO.

[TJ in Oregon]

Voted option 3. These two wings together probably make up 40% of the Republican Party. The other 60% are primarily concerned with issues largely irrelevant to this question.

[Fight for Trump]

Cuck wing.

[HillGoose]

Cuck wing.

Why don't you just get "I can't get laid" tattooed on your forehead? Would your fedora cover it?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Cuck wing.

Why don't you just get "I can't get laid" tattooed on your forehead? Would your fedora cover it?

I don’t wear silly hats Dubya boy.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Cuck wing.

[Cold War Liberal]

-I hate all identity politics and mentions of race/gender/nationality in any context

Wait what does this even mean? Honest question, especially since:

-Secularism is the biggest threat facing America today, and the GOP needs to drop anti-immigration rhetoric to win over Christian Hispanics and double down on social issues to win Black Evangelicals.

Though I actually agree with you here:

-I support TPP and NAFTA and think economic nationalism is stupid

Which doesn't seem to be a very popular opinion in either the Republican nor Democratic party (at least the Sanders wing) as of late, unfortunately...

[wxtransit]

What wing of the Socialist Party am I from?

[Sestak]

Cuck wing.

The whole party doesn't count as a wing.

[RFayette 🇻🇦]

The tea party wing, which isn't really either but I think is closer to the Trump wing in terms of the current divide.

[Dr. MB]

Very conservative wing socially, tea party wing economically, and neocon on foreign policy.

[HillGoose]

Cuck wing.

Why don't you just get "I can't get laid" tattooed on your forehead? Would your fedora cover it?

I don’t wear silly hats Dubya boy.

people like you like the Russkies right?

Russkies have people put in jail and killed for being gay. Do you think that's okay?

Does being gay make me a "cuck" in your mind, btw?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Very Tea Party which is neither Trumpist nor RINO.

[mvd10]

You're basically that person who started out as a Tea Partier in 2010 and ended up as an "establishment" person without even changing your views.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Though I actually agree with you here:

-I support TPP and NAFTA and think economic nationalism is stupid

The left dislikes these agreements not because of nationalist economics, but because they include provisions to allow corporations to sue to block new regulations from taking effect, if it would be expected to decrease their profits (including pro-environment and anti-scamming regulations, for example).

[Coolface Sock #42069]

A third group, movement conservatives. Marco Rubio is probably the senator who most closely matched your views.

At this point, that probably puts you closer to Jeb! than to a deplorable.

[IceSpear]

Cruz vs. Trump divided the Tea Party between those who were in it for the ideology and those who were in it for railing against the system, being anti-establishment, triggering libs, etc.

Unsurprisingly, the latter won.

I actually wish I had put those two (the first two you mentioned) side-by-side.  I believe that race should be completely irrelevant to the political divide.  It is the fault of both parties that it is (and largely stems from neither side being willing to JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE AND SEX).  The political divide should be people who live traditional, moral, and religious lives with family values against those who do not.  We should be getting 90% of the vote in Mississippi, not just 90% of the white vote.  Likewise, we shouldn't be dominant in the Mountain West, which isn't that religious or socially conservative and we should be obliterated in somewhere like New Hampshire.  We could offset that with somewhere like New Mexico probably being Safe R.

Well, the problem is definitely that the GOP hasn't embraced Jesus enough.  If it did, someone like me would vote straight Republican.

I actually wish I had put those two (the first two you mentioned) side-by-side.  I believe that race should be completely irrelevant to the political divide.  It is the fault of both parties that it is (and largely stems from neither side being willing to JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE AND SEX).  The political divide should be people who live traditional, moral, and religious lives with family values against those who do not.  We should be getting 90% of the vote in Mississippi, not just 90% of the white vote.  Likewise, we shouldn't be dominant in the Mountain West, which isn't that religious or socially conservative and we should be obliterated in somewhere like New Hampshire.  We could offset that with somewhere like New Mexico probably being Safe R.

Black voters are overwhelmingly progressive on economic issues based on the polling data.  Why do you think that a full-fledged economically conservative (even moreso than now) party would do a better job appealing to blacks?  Yes, Trump has enflamed tensions, but George W Bush, who ran a very inoffensive campaign, still only got about the same percentage of the black vote in 2000 as Trump got in 2016.

Honestly, a lot of the time, political policy positions are downstream from party for all but the very most politically informed people (maybe 5% of the population).  So, I do think that we can expand the party demographically by appealing to the strong family values that most black evangelicals in the rural South have.
