GOP (Republican Party)

The GOP, or Republican Party, is one of the two main political parties in the United States. It generally advocates for limited government intervention, lower taxes, free-market capitalism, strong national defense, and conservative social values. Republicans often emphasize individual responsibility, traditional family structures, and a cautious approach to social change. The party's platforms can vary over time, but it typically supports policies that promote economic growth through business-friendly principles and maintains a cautious stance on certain social issues. The GOP plays a central role in American politics, competing primarily with the Democratic Party.
