I really relate to what @concretecamper said above, I'm not sure I truly align with anybody anymore. Economically I'm libertarian, morally I'm authoritarian because I believe error has no rights, and I prefer an isolationist foreign policy. Domestically I think groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa must be categorized as terrorist organizations (the former of which the FBI agrees with me, as described in a 2017 intelligence assessment they published) and then dealt with exactly like we've dealt with al-Qaeda.
I subscribe to the Aristo-Thomistic notion that a Republic is one of three valid forms of regime (along with Aristocracy and Monarchy), and that a Republic's evil twin is democracy. Though I submit that a Republic is the one with the highest ratio of virtuous incarnations; a Monarchy can be great if the king is virtuous but that's rarely the case so it quickly devolves to tyranny. Same with aristocracy, which devolves to oligarchy.
I'm staunchly anti-abortion which I distinguish from being pro-life. I think the death penalty is just, necessary, and underutilized. Murderers? Rapists? Pedos? Abortionists? Death. All of them. The Roman Catechism says the death penalty is acceptable to protect society, and I defer to that catechism, knowing how Clement XIII described it: "In it they compiled the teaching which is common to the whole Church and which is far removed from every danger of error," (Pope Clement XII, in Dominico Agro, VI).
