Reich Wing ideology, the entire thing, relies on subservience and deference to authority. The difference in the various flavors of it are just how much and who.

OK, so you’re just going to spout partisan talking points instead of having a productive conversation.

Have a wonderful day.

Of course, discussing political ideology is “partisan”… Its exactly what we’re talking about.

And no, they’re not just talking points, it’s literally how we describe the various systems of political ideology… Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience. And, like I said, the question of “who” to obey, and how strictly people are to be controlled are what differentiates the various Reich Wing ideologies.

Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience.

This is a talking point, and you’re basically implying everyone on the right believes this, and that’s patently false.

That is literally what makes up right wing ideology… Prove me wrong. Because, yes, every Reich Winger thinks that some level of control over others is a requirement of society.

Control of women’s bodies.

Control of immigrants.

Control of health care.

Control of religious views.

Control of other countries.

Show me a Reich Winger who doesn’t believe that someone needs to control others, and I’ll walk that back.

First of all, I want to point out that I’m not registered Republican and haven’t voted for a Republican for any executive position for nearly two decades (last time was McCain, though I would’ve voted for Romney had I voted in 2012). Also, I have voted Republican for other positions very rarely in the last decade or so. In 2020, I voted for Biden because I thought Trump legitimately had a chance of losing my state (still carried it by ~20%), and I voted mostly Democrats for legislative seats this time around because I’m pissed at the gerrymandering my state did recently.

With that out of the way:

Control of women’s bodies.

Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Control of immigrants.

Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.

Control of health care.

Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that’s why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).

If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.

Control of religious views.

About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say “nothing in particular” (I guess that means areligious).

Control of other countries.

Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they’re probably not going to be as vocal this term.

So if you’re looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.

So yeah, there’s a bunch of stats for you. I’m also guessing we’ll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump’s term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.

I could list specific politicians if that’s what you’re looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.

Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

But all of them voted to ban abortion, so they can sod off with “Well, it’s not what I believe”…

Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.

And yet, they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration. So, again, they can sod off.

Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that’s why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).

The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care. Reich Wingers want health care choices controlled, while de-regulating corporations.

If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.

Look up the percentage that voted for Trump, and that’s your percentage of people who are Reich Wingers and want to have the state tell humans what health care they can get like:

Hormone therapy
Mental healthy care
Reproductive health care

About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say “nothing in particular” (I guess that means areligious).

What percentage of them voted for Trump?

Because that percentage voted for a Christofascist system of government.

Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they’re probably not going to be as vocal this term.

Trump is an isolationist. Unless it’s:

Israel
Russia
North Korea
Anywhere in the middle east with brown people living there
A place that has oil, or real estate he can profit from

So if you’re looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.

Sure… “Anti-interference”, unless it’s a friend of his like Putin, or Assad, etc etc.

So yeah, there’s a bunch of stats for you. I’m also guessing we’ll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump’s term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.

Those stats are meaningless. The only stat that matters is who they voted for.

I could list specific politicians if that’s what you’re looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.

Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn’t what I described. I’m sure they will be a lot like “Trump is really anti-interference!”
