I would appreciate seeing some real change and soul-searching on the R side


Be business friendly, but with a mind to understanding and mitigating the cost of human activity on the earth and its other inhabitants (which is becoming more obvious with every passing decade);

Support the fundamental right to bear arms, but balance that with common sense control measures knowing that modern technology can put weapons in people’s hands such that a ton of people can be killed, very quickly;

Lay off people’s deepest and most personal decisions - wasn’t individual freedom previously a conservative calling card?

Stop imposing one’s religious beliefs on others. One’s inability to do so is not a matter of one’s religious freedom. That impacts **someone else’s** freedoms.

Stop treating government regulation like the worst possible thing that’s ever happened in the universe. At heart, I truly am a less is more government person but it does not logically follow from that position that regulation is off the table. Demonstrate what regulations are unreasonable, obsolete or otherwise need to be changed or removed. Also understand that new or changing circumstances may require a re-working of regulations or *gasp* new regulations.

This list could go on. The current day iteration of the Republican has become a slave to its own ideology. It now treats politics like a religion of irrefutable maxims. In doing so, it removes critical thought or debate and contributes to isolate and alienate people who choose *not* to treat politics like a religion.

I hope in my lifetime I still have time to see some positive improvements. If so, they could even get a voter back.
