List all of the negatives of the Republican Party

[AgnosticBoy]

I believe reminding ourselves that no party is perfect, helps to keep things into proper perspective and tames partisanship. Not only am I looking for the negatives of the Republican Party, but I'll also start another thread for the negatives on the Democrat side.


For Discussion...
What are the negatives of the Republican Party? Feel free to include negatives regarding their policy, platform, direction, etc.

Negatives:
1. President Trump offering expedited asylum to White Afrikaners based on conspiratory theories about a "white genocide" in South Africa. The issue I have with Trump's claims is that it's not backed by good evidence, and several fact checkers have debunked large parts of it.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge John Holcomb — who was nominated by President Trump in 2019 — is the latest to limit the administration's controversial practice of rapidly deporting people accused of being members of the gang Tren de Aragua under the 1798 law, which allows removals during an "invasion" or "predatory incursion" of the United States. Courts in three other states have also blocked Alien Enemies Act removals, though under different arguments.

Perhaps in some cases, there are activists judges that are biased against Trump or some Democrats suing Trump admin just to oppose them no matter what, but in some cases Trump's admin brings it on themselves by rushing and not making sure they have strong legal grounds.
