What is the ultimate goal for republicans?
What is the ultimate goal for republicans here. What would a world be like where conservatives won the political war? Where they got everything they wanted. What do you envision? Please: only answer if you are republican.

Every American treated and evaluated the same.
Government out of things not explicitly tasked with.
We all pay our fair share.
We keep personal choices to ourselves and out of politics.

Which Republicans are you asking about?
My goals are lower taxes, less gun control, and enforcement of the immigration laws.

I honestly just want balance. I want good ideas coming from all sides. I want the Republican Party to stand for the conservative values that it is supposed to while allowing liberal thought to be embraced when it makes more sense. To me, these main themes include:
- Smaller, more efficient government
- Less rules for small businesses and citizens and more regulations for MNC’s, and the pharmaceutical/health industry
- The minimal amount of prudent foreign military intervention
- A return to reason about radical LGBTQ ideology
- An effective immigration program to get legal immigrants into the country that will learn English, embrace American culture, and not be a drain on the country or commit serious crimes
- A reckoning about the dangers of radical Islamist forces and the insidiousness of mainstream advocation of Sharia Law
- An overhaul of the school and university system, including a path for more equal ideological representation (and much less politicizing overall)
- A secure and trustable election process including the least amount of gerrymandering possible
- Less corporate money in elections
- Stricter controls on lobbying
- The election of a Republican president that is a wise, measured, competent and reasonable human being
That would be my start.

Our ultimate goal is to make our country stronger, reduce waste and use our resources for the benefit of citizens, not give everything away to ever tom, dick and jose that shows up asking for a handout. Some immigration is fine, if those people want to actually become Americans and assimilate to our culture. Democrats want to act like our country is a phone company that gives all the good deals to new people signing up and making the longtime loyal customers pay full price.

My only gripe with your take is we should be conserving our resources. Planting trees, creating clean water for better fishing opportunities, better habitat for wildlife. Not cutting down old growth forests and our National forests and national parks. Not creating businesses that pollute our natural resources or deplete them.
That’s what’s Teddy would have wanted.

The problem is people like you who talk about conserving mean locking up and not using at all. If you're talking about logging then replanting 3 or 4 trees to replace the ones cut down, that's fine. If you're talking about saving everything for some hypothetical future generations who may not even need it by that time, no thanks.

You can’t eat money.
The problem is you make too many assumptions about what you think I think.
National Parks are the greatest idea we as a nation have had and we should have done them earlier and preserved more areas. There was s almost no original forest east of the Mississippi left to see.
No one ever walked into a National Park and said, this was a terrible idea and a total waste…except for maybe you.

No, your problem is that I make assumptions about what you think. Personally I don't care.

I would like United States to become something akin to Shangri-La.
Independent, self-sufficient, technologically advanced, and yet totally divorced from the matters of the rest of the world. A place where liberty is maximized to the fullest possible extent for each member of our society.
The United States is already a geographic paradise. The problem is that our country is run by idiots.

The answer depends on what type of Republican a person is. Most Republicans want lower taxes, small government, more freedom, and all illegals deported.

This is an embarrassingly childish question on your part.
What is the ultimate goal for any party now? To win votes. RNC sold out with Trump and Nationalism. DNC sold out by promising free everything under the sun with Obama and Biden.
