The billionaire also told the outlet that he plans to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary Tuesday as “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support the current president versus the former one.

    When Republicans pull right, it isn’t always the same things D’s had pulled left. Regardless, here are some examples:

    Weed: surge of blue states have legalized marijuana at the state level. Obama mentioned that policy would be to no pursue low level marijuana crimes. Trump didn’t seem to change that and now Biden is going through the process of rescheduling Marijuana.

    Abortion: R’s, in the form of the supreme court, have finally allowed states to outlaw abortion. D’s have pushed hard,even in red states, to enshrine the right to abortions.

    Climate: California has passed a law that will disallow gas powered cars to be sold after (inclusive?)2035. Other states and countries have followed similar laws. This will also push manufacturers to begin reduce gas powered manufacturing and sales throughout the US due to California’s purchasing power.

    Climate 2: the inflation reduction act passed by Congress includes increasing green energy technology and production. This is the most massive bill to combat climate change passed by anyone, ever in the world.

    Health-care: ACA forces insurances to not deny covering customers, even if they have preexisting conditions. Funny enough, R voters are most helped by “Obamacare” and many like it. (States must opt in to ACA though)

    There’s of course more examples but those are some off the top of my head.
