But rest assured there will be rules and regulations in their society. Then you have the theocracy people. They are the ones afraid of Islamic law, atheism and science but want to replace it with a fantastical version of biblical law that is not even in the bible. Then come the Ron Paul libertarians. They want a fantastical society that does not exist, has never existed and isn't likely to ever exist. However they are so scared to death of the other two versions of Republican society they'd rather live in total anarchy than rule by the 1 % or rule by the theocracy. Finally you have the Eisenhower republican. People that think somehow the other three don't really represent the modern Republican party and if you keep voting for them somehow a mythical Ike or Teddy will appear and whisk the Republican party back to the Lincoln era of progressive values.
The only thing that keeps them together is there dead fast resolve that it is the Liberals and Democrats that are the reason the 4 types of Republicans can't come together and create the society that they deserve.
