When thinking about the political spectrum in America, everyone thinks first about the left and the right wings. While correct, it's not the full spectrum, but I’m not here to cover that here (I most likely will in another post). In this post, I’ll be covering what the right wing is specifically is in America.
The right wing in America only consists of the Republican Party. There isn’t an alt-right as the mainstream media and many on the left like to say that there is. Within the Republican Party, or the Grand Ole Party (GOP), there are Conservative Republicans, then there are Republicans. We’ll speak more about them below.
Conservative Republicans or Conservatives:
Believe in the Constitution
Very little laws and regulations
Little to no taxation
Small Local, State, and Federal Governments
Limiting government spending
Usually have Christian beliefs
Believe in Federalism
Conserving the values of America
Republicans:

Less government spending
Belief in Federalism
Belief in conserving the values of America
