Many things. That he supports energy, the family, borders, limited government, opposes gender theory, entangling ourselves necessarily in international conflicts, etc. There's a lot to like. He's a true conservative in a way that many modern Republicans, including Trump, are not.

Thanks. We're really looking at the same guy then. But unlike you, he makes me physically sick.

What does "he supports energy [and] the family'" mean?

In supporting energy, one of his flagship policies was promoting domestic energy production. It's not a policy unique to Vivek, to be fair, but I like it.

In supporting the family, Vivek is a big fan of policies that increase parental rights and give parents flexibility when raising their children. For example, he supports school choice.

What kind of domestic energy are we talking about? Or does it not matter?

All kinds of energy AFAIK. At least oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy.
