The EA strategy of private donation would sell well to Republicans: both to minimize suffering due to poverty as well as mitigate poverty’s destabilizing effects in regions critical to US interests. Some of the Republicans I’ve debated about poverty pointed to the role of the private citizen, churches, and NGOs to do that, not the government.
EA also lends itself to a Republican emphasis on national security, particularly nuclear strategy and short term artificial intelligence cyber warfare strategies.
The humanist/atheist, tech world, and Cali overrepresentation is probably the biggest reason EA is low on Republicans.
