Republicanism

Agree

No

Some Republicans may oppose mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession, as they believe in limited government intervention and protecting individual liberties. They may argue that mandatory minimums are an example of government overreach and that judges should have more discretion in sentencing. For instance, the Republican-led 'First Step Act' passed in 2018 aimed to reform the criminal justice system and reduce mandatory minimum sentences for certain nonviolent drug offenses.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

Some Republicans may support mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers but not users, as they see drug dealing as a more serious crime that warrants a stronger punishment. This approach may be seen as a compromise between maintaining law and order and respecting individual liberties. However, opinions within the Republican party can vary, and some may still oppose mandatory minimums altogether or support them for both dealers and users.

Disagree

Yes

Republicanism as an ideology emphasizes limited government intervention and individual liberties. While some Republicans may support mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession as a means to deter drug use, others may see it as an overreach of government power and a violation of individual rights. For example, Senator Rand Paul, a Republican, has been a vocal critic of mandatory minimum sentences, arguing that they disproportionately affect minorities and low-income individuals.
