Most people would call these "Conservative values".
"Pro-gun" is a pretty vague term. Most Democrats would keep the right to have a gun. There is no agenda to repeal the second amendment. Pro-gun is not a Republican owned position. Democrats want reasonable restrictions.
Fracking is an option for fuel but it requires a large demand on resources for water and there are concerns on what gets into and spoils the environment.
So it has to be approached cautiously.
I'm a Democrat and I'm personally opposed to abortion. But like Lamb, I am favor of keeping it legal as a choice and would what to provide options for safe procedures and would really want to spread resources for unwanted pregnancy prevention to prevent any desires for abortion.
Most Democrats are religious and pro-God. I don't see how Republicans own that "issue" at all. Though Democrats support religious freedom and choice where Republicans think all Americans should be Christians and practice their faith publicly (but only Christianity)
Pelosi is experienced and has done a lot but i agree it's time for new leadership.
Being anti-Pelosi is not being anti-Democrat.
I would say that being pro-Trump is being anti-Republican because he took over your party with basically no Republican values other than trying to give rich people more advantages.
Lamb refrained from criticizing Trump as to not alienate voters who liked Trump. Not a bad move.
But Trump campaigning for the Republican inspired more Democrats to come out and vote for Lamb.
Don't believe Trump when he says Lamb was favored and Trump made it close. That district was very Republican-leaning until Trump actually became president and turned them off to the Republican party.
