Strongly agree

No, the government should not force companies to surrender trade secrets or proprietary designs

Strongly consistent with GOP pro-business and IP/trade-secret protections and opposition to compelled disclosure; Republicans have often argued regulations should not force firms to reveal proprietary information or increase compliance burdens.

Agree

No

Fits the party’s typical preference for limited government and opposition to new regulatory requirements; many Republican lawmakers and allied business groups argue right-to-repair mandates are unnecessary regulation.

Agree

No, modern tech is too complex for DIY repairs and poses safety or security risks

Safety and cybersecurity concerns are commonly cited by opponents of right-to-repair; Republicans frequently emphasize security and liability arguments as reasons to avoid government mandates in tech and product regulation.

Slightly agree

Yes, if I buy it I own it, and manufacturers should not monopolize repairs

The property-rights framing can appeal to some Republicans (consumer ownership, anti-monopoly rhetoric), and a few GOP state legislators have supported right-to-repair bills, but the national party often sides with manufacturers against mandates.

Disagree

Yes

National GOP messaging generally opposes federal mandates on private business; while some Republicans back consumer choice, the party’s dominant posture is deregulatory (e.g., repeated GOP platform emphasis on reducing regulation).

Disagree

Yes, this prevents planned obsolescence and reduces electronic waste

The environmental/anti–planned obsolescence rationale aligns more with Democratic regulatory arguments; Republicans have often been skeptical of environmental regulation and e-waste/climate-driven mandates, favoring market solutions.
