Allowing for the fact that people are infinitely complex fractals who contain multitudes, there are roughly two kinds of Republicans these days.
The classic iteration of the typical GOP-leaning American is skeptical of the state. He regards the unwieldy leviathan as an obstacle to his flourishing, to say nothing of the public in aggregate, and he looks askance at the motives of those who would appropriate its power for themselves. He would prefer to see federal and state governments do less — to diffuse authority across competing power centers and shrink the federal budget to the point that it might approach something resembling sustainability.
