American Republicanism is the ideological bent of the Republican Party (USA) platform at any given time. Currently, American Republicanism supports (among other things) free markets, tax cuts, and unilateralism while opposing (among other things) gun control, drugs, same-sex marriage (somewhat), abortion, illegal immigration and progressive policies in general.

American Republicanism can also be used to represent the beliefs of certain Republicans this means it can represent the beliefs of right-wing Republicans such as File:Fuentesism.png Nick Fuentes or RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) such as File:Bull Moose Progressivism.png Template:PCB, or it could represent Big State Republicans such as Richard Nixon or Small State Republicans such as File:Libcon.png Template:PCB.

Personality

American Republicanism is usually portrayed with the personality of any Republican figure or party supporter, therefore encompassing a wide range of behaviors, depending on who is being portrayed.

History

Early History

The Republican Party of the US was founded in the Northern states in 1854, by people that opposed the expansion of slavery. The Republican Party quickly became the main opposition of the dominant File:Demcr.png Democratic Party. The party grew out of opposition to the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which repealed the Missouri Compromise and opened Kansas Territory and Nebraska Territory to slavery, and there future joining as slave states. The name Republican was proposed during the first public meeting of the general anti-Nebraska movement.

The Republican Party first came to power in the elections of 1860 when it won control of both houses of Congress and its candidate, former congressman File:Lincolnism.png Abraham Lincoln, was elected president. In the election of 1864, it united with War Democrats to nominate Lincoln on the National Union Party ticket; Lincoln won re-election. Under Republican congressional leadership, the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution—which banned slavery (except as punishment for crime) in the United States passed, and was ratified in December 1865.

Gilded Age to World War I

During the Gilded Age, the Republican Party supported hard money (i.e. the gold standard), File:Protect.png Template:PCB to promote economic growth, high wages and high profits, and generous pensions for Union veterans. The Republicans had strong support from pietistic Protestants, but they resisted demands for Prohibition. As the Northern postwar economy boomed with heavy and light industry, railroads, mines, fast-growing cities, and prosperous agriculture, the Republicans took credit, and promoted policies to sustain the fast growth.

After the Gilded Age, the Republican Party continued to compete with the Democratic Party as one of the two dominant political parties in the US. One prominent member of the party was File:NatProg.png Template:PCB, who while a moderate progressive, did adhere strongly to the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, which would lead his political career forward. Roosevelt was elected president of the US, and served for two terms, from 1901 to 1909. During his presidency, he was known for his Square Deal (the 3 C's of Conservation of natural resources, Control of corporations, and Consumer protection) as well as support for a strong military and trust busting.

Trump and Right-Wing Populism

With the rise of presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016, Republicanism has been returning to the use of populist rhetoric, influenced largely by Democratic candidate Andrew Jackson and their old Republican candidate, Theodore Roosevelt. This new right-wing populism can be seen though the frantic coverage on Fox News of this presidency and eventual electoral loss against Joe Biden, as well as the rise of the QAnon conspiracy and the insurrection of January 6, 2021. This has caused more liberal factions within the Republican Party, such as the Bushite neoconservatives and Romneyite liberal conservatives, to distance themselves from the pro-Trump populist faction.

Factions

Tea Party Republicanism is a faction of American Republicanism with more libertarian sympathies. Proponents include libertarian conservatives like Ron and Rand Paul, among many others.

File:Tradcon.png Template:PCB also believe in a moral order, manifested through what they call the natural laws which they believe society ought to conform to.

File:ReaganismF.png Reagan Coalitionism

Reagan Coalitionism also known as the Reagan Coalition & Reagan Democrats were a short lived faction & movement in the USAGOP.png American Republican Party that focused on assembling a major political realignment that helped Ronald Reagan with his electoral landslide in the 1980 election. In 1980, the Reagan coalition was possible because of Democrat Jimmy Carter's losses in most social-economic groups. The Reagan coalition was possible due to the fact that Democrat Jimmy Carter's lossed favor in most economic groups.

File:Necon.png Template:PCB

Neoconservatives are a faction of the Republican Party which, similar to Reaganites, support neoliberalism, conservatism and a smaller state, although some of them took more statist approaches, like George W. Bush. The term "neoconservatism" was coined by Irving Kristol, a former Trotskyist, who dropped his far-left beliefs and opposed the growing anti-war Democrats, describing Neoconservatism as "liberalism mugged by reality". During 1980 to 2015, Neoconservatives were the strongest political force among the Republican Party. However, in recent years, Neoconservatism has been rapidly losing popularity within the Republican voting base, because of their support of the War on Terror and the Iraq War, being oftenly being accused of being RINOs. Some neoconservatives, however, are still and popular in modern politics, such as Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and Ron DeSantis.

RINOs (Republican In Name Only)

File:LogCabin.png Template:PCB

Log Cabin Republicans are a minor faction between Republicans, founded in 1977, who support the LGBT+ community and believe that Republicans and gay people should educate and be friendly each other. They opposed Bill Clinton's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. They did not support George W. Bush reelection bid in 2004, as he campaigned to ban gay marriage, neither they have supported Donald Trump, although some of them later voted for him in 2020 and 2024.

File:Rockrep.png Template:PCB

Rockefeller Republicans were a moderate and more liberal faction of the Republican Party, formed in the 1930s and disappeared during the 1970's. The name was coined after moderate Republican Nelson Rockefeller, a important politician in the Republican Party who would later become the governor of New York and even the vicepresident. Their main views were moderate conservatism and economic interventionism. They were neutral to FDR and the New Deal, but because of WW2 and their more dovish foreign policy, they started to oppose him, with Dewey, a moderate conservative although not officially a Rockefeller Republican, being the candidate against FDR in 1944 and Truman in 1948. Later, Dwight Eisenhower, a liberal conservative, won the presidency. Nelson Rockefeller, the movement's leader, became the governor of New York in 1959. After Nixon's loss, the emergement of Barry Goldwater, a very conservative libertarian as the candidate for the presidency in 1964, the movement was highly weakened. Following Rockefeller's failed presidential ticket in 1968 and Nixon's victory, the faction started to decline even more, although Nixon later imposed some moderate policies. Despite Gerald Ford, who was more moderate compared to Nixon being president, and with Nelson Rockefeller being vicepresident, the movement was almost dead, with most of them eventually turning into more conservative politicians or keeping their liberal views but leaving the faction. Following Reagan and the Bushes, who were hawkish, economically liberal and very conservative, the movement eventually died.

Half-Breed Republicanism

During the early years of the Gilded Age, the Half-Breeds, also known as the Half-Breed Republicans, were a faction in the Republican Party and a form of File:Merit.png Meritocracy that was led by Senator James G. Blaine, which advocated for civil service reforms and a merit system. They were opposed by the File:Klep.png Stalwarts, another faction in the Republican Party. Their name was based on the fact that the Stalwarts only saw them as half Republican. They are also known for electing the Half-Breed George Frisbie Hoar to the position as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention. Later on, both the Half-Breeds and the Stalwarts compromised on the candidate James Garfield, and they also outlawed the spoils system. Both the Half-Breeds and Stalwarts dissolved towards the end of the 1880s.

File:NatProg.png Template:PCB

The Bull Moose progressives within the Republican Party advocate for the File:Indust.png re-industrialization of the US in order to bring back manufacturing potential, and the installment and enforcement of trust-busting laws. It's a File:Civnat.png civic nationalist movement, which wishes to use the ideas of Teddy Roosevelt in order to improve American civilian life.

Movements

File:ReaganismF.png Reagan/Bush Democrats

The Reagan Democrats were Democrats before, & after the Reagan years, but voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and for George H. W. Bush in 1988, producing their landslide victories during their elections. They were mostly white socially conservative blue-collar workers who were attracted to Reagan's social conservatism and to his foreign policy. They did not continue to vote Republican in 1992 or 1996.

File:Fuente.png Template:PCB

America First is a modern Paleoconservative movement, heavily influenced by the internet. Prominent members of it include Nick Fuentes and Vincent James, though there are differences between people like Fuentes, who mostly base their political decisions on memes, and people like Vincent James, who see the restoration of the USA as a serious situation. In general, they supported the candidacy of Trump in 2016, but then moved on to advocate for things like immigration control, anti interventionism, and lower taxes.

File:Patcon.png Template:PCB

Known as Blue Republicans or Red Democrats, Democratic members of this movement usually have sympathies with some conservative-leaning Democratic candidates, but due to issues with the Democrats in general (mainly on social issues), refuse to join them. They're a faction of File:Pop.png populists that believe in accessible healthcare and education for all American citizens, and the pragmatic use of welfare through the balancing of government spending with cuts to redundant programs if possible. They usually prefer the use of federal job programs more than welfare systems in order to help reduce unemployment along with poverty. To them, any attempt at imitating The New Deal from a liberal point of view would fail, as the globalist mindset and hedonistic lifestyle promoted by liberalism lack the patriotism and the civic commitment necessary to apply it.
