Do either "limit judiciary review" or "strengthen the power of individual state's rights" present non-nuetral points of view or use normally avoided words?

The IP user 70.94.246.15 recently changed the phrasing in the section on the seperation of powers and balence of powers. I'm not personally a big fan of either phrasing, as both could be argued to support a certain perspective, but before I try to write it myself, I'm curious if anyone has any opinions on whether either phrasing is good or presents a neutral point of view, Thanks —The Editor's Apprentice (Talk•Edits) 03:59, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Health care topics

The health care policies are mentioned in the paragraph "economic policies". Education, on the other hand, in the paragraph "social policies". I'd reckon, health care is more social than economical. Anyway, it would deserve a separate paragraph or subparagraph instead of being part of the economic text block.Opzwartbeek (talk) 07:57, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Opzwartbeek: I tried to create a health care subsection and move education to the "economic policy" section, but someone reverted my edit for no reason Spiritoftheeast1993 (talk) 00:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Transgender issues

All information in the LGBT issues part of the artical is about LGB issues. If it is possible, add some information about Republican positions concerning transgender people.Reprarina (talk) 20:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality and unreferenced claims

This article has a lot of unreferenced claims and generalizations about the Republican Party and its philosophies on liberty, so much so that it would seem to be wholly written by Democrats. As such the article has a very big problem with neutrality. In the least major claims should be referenced so it's possible to understand where the claims originate from. --2A04:981:2B00:4C00:A1AD:3698:AE1:679E (talk) 11:16, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it was written by people who strongly hate Republicans. A version of the article viewable on google search states that the main platform of the party is White Supremacy, and "free market White supremacy". The inclusion of those statements in the google search version of the article has no basis in reality nor in facts. I am glad people on wikipedia itself are making sure these articles are view point neutral. Thank you. You are doing a great service for Americans. 2600:6C50:5C7F:CFAB:FC1A:9B0E:EDCF:26B5 (talk) 22:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganizing sections

This article is a mess. I think we should group the issues into social, economic, legal, and foreign policy sections just like on the page Political positions of the Democratic Party. On that page labor unions, environment, and trade are subsections under the "economic policy" section, immigration is under the "social policy" section, and international relations with other countries is under the "foreign policy" section. We should do likewise for this page. I tried to reorganize the sections earlier, but someone reverted my edits for no reason. Spiritoftheeast1993 (talk) 00:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correct the platform for Republican party

the description of the Republican party platform is what they SAID they believed in until Trump! Since Trump, their ENTIRE platform is whatever he says it is! 73.27.142.221 (talk) 02:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Current description of Republican values is NOT correct and should be changed 2601:3C3:8300:24D0:C48F:DFF4:E9D1:2B3E (talk) 22:57, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Topical lying bull about Republican Values being changed by Trump and the Republican platform about higher Taxes. Conservative values start with family values, the Bill of Rights, freedom of Religion, Equal Rights, the Constitution and law & order as our founders ment it for the stability of our Republic. I could add much more especially when it comes to the advancement of Civil Rights. The Republican Party of Lincoln, Martin Luther King that helped passed the Civil Rights Act of 1969. 108.52.137.229 (talk) 10:22, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Since Trump, their ENTIRE platform is whatever he says it is!" This party does not seem to have a platform, and it has certainly not supported the free market since at least 2016. They have proposed protectionist measures. Dimadick (talk) 03:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Total bull, President Trump was and is the most successful and open President ever. Because he was so successful President for all the people the Democrat Party spends all their time trying to destroy him with false charges and manipulating, twisting and outright lying to the FISA courts to frame him for the Criminal acts they are guilty of to tie him up in court to beat him down any dirty way they can, which is destroying our Country. 108.52.137.229 (talk) 10:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were at least two key changes Trump made to the Republican platform: 1) no longer being anti-union, since unions are pro-American. 2) exert less control and spend less money on foreign issues; stop trying to be leader of the western democracies. 73.135.54.204 (talk) 19:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated?

Many of the issues described in this article were more common before the 2016 election and don't seem to include many of the social topics recently discussed in the current Republican party. I was expecting to see more on trans issues, immigration, approach to inflation, housing market issues, foreign relations with China, to name a few examples.

I should add that there should be a much larger section on foreign relations with Israel and at least one mention of Palestine 66.190.61.240 (talk) 06:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

State views

With issues sorted into social, economic, legal, and foreign policy sections, it seems odd there isn't one on the party's view of government (the State) itself, when that seems to be one of their defining impacts on energising their voter base? They stand almost as an anti-democracy party, and to not mention this feels disingenuous? LA1310 (talk) 17:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
