Nothing in practice
In theory, the GOP's shift to a more corporatist worldview isn't good. I'd never support the Democrat vision of wealth redistribution but I do think the right needs to shake the idea of "everyone for themselves" and embrace some aspects of neighborhood/community/village collectivism as morally good.
I just think it's really hard considering how many people aren't pulling their weight and how everything is "national" now. I'm not really sure there is a policy to promote that embraces these ideas that doesn't really become some complete cluster, it's more so the thought process behind it.

The left is better at working as a party despite all they work for is at the detriment of the country

Gonna branch out and say "Healthcare".
True story.. my old lady broke her foot. (No pics cause chicken won't let us upload pics)
Anyway. No insurance on her. We had to pay out of pocket for a boot. It was $95... But they told us had we had insurance it would have been $250. Straight word from the supplier.
Now I ask. Why did the price of the boot change due to having or not having insurance? Was the cost of the boot to manufacture the same?

I find it hard to believe so many on this board claim that on 100% of issues they are in the majority of the GOP tent.
It's not nearly 100% for me.
I agree with 20% of GOP policies and zero % of Dem policies.
I like Milei's gutting of half the govt of Argentina but I would get rid of at least 3/4 of the U.S. bureaucracy.

Stealing elections and becoming multi millionaires via stealing taxpayer money and big corporate lobbyists.

Hank just texted me. He asked that I put him down as a pro-pedo Republican.

The GOP started favoring investors over competition.
One staple of free markets is competition, and its being strangled by BigCorp

The Democrats are significantly better at winning elections, and working together to get legislation passed.

I think the glorification of free markets as the penultimate solution to social ills is also a deficiency of the modern right (which is a mantra preached but rarely practiced, of course)
But I think you're a good bit more libertarian than me

Getting their people in line and being unified on election day.

I'm an independent so there isn't one "other party".
Libertarians are better on most things.
Democrats suck on everything.
Republicans talk an okay game at times but have proven that they are not doers.

Probably gonna get downvoted, but I think in some circumstances, abortion should be an option. Rape, for sure, danger to the mother’s health, & a serious problem with the baby, as in, not consistent with life.

For instance, a gun-control Republican or a pro-life Democrat. What is an issue where your views are not the collective's perspective?
Not really an issue but the Dims/Groomers are light years ahead of America First/MAGA using the strategy of identity politics based in ethnicity/racism.
America First will never challenge Dims in the strategy of Identity politics because we don't believe in dividing Americans up by ethnicity for political gain.
As far as a hands down political issue where the Dims have a better position than America First/MAGA? Can't think of one.

They're better at enabling the poor to be comfortable and free from consequences. That just creates more of them.

That’s not a Democratic position.

MAGA just filled the void left when mainstream Democrats abandoned class warfare for other collective identities.
Its an identity group but not based on race.

Democrats are much better at bankrupting the nation
