In a base summary, the democrats are less traditional then the republicans. Like gun laws are more restrictive for the left, abortions are more lenient with left, and drugs (like marijuana specifically) are more lenient, with more major ones wanting to be illegal but punished with rehabilitation. The right believes in the enforcement of the second amendment and is more against gay marriage shown by theyre states being some of the last to allow gay marriages. Hope this helps :D
