So the Republican party is less hypocritical and appears to have more of a spine because they actually intend to do what they promise.

These stereotypes go back to the Depression Era complaints about Hoover. Sadly, the media has never allowed the plain facts of history to correct them.
At least 80% of today's wealthiest are left-leaning. For example, billionaire Hedge Fund manager Paul Singer is a so-called Republican. But a New England Republican cares nothing for the conservative values I care about. He promotes gay marriage, abortion, trannies, PC, etc. Same with Bloomberg, Schultz, Buffet, Koch's, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and so many more wealthy elites. They may not be Bernie/AOC socialists, but they are
not conservatives.
Trump was elected by the working man, by the pro-life, by the DOMAs, by the religious, by the non-neo-cons, etc. The same kind of folks that put JFK in office.
