In a nutshell:
Democrats believe poor people have too little, and rich people have too much.
Republicans believe poor people have too much, and rich people have too little.

The ultra wealthy entitled class would rather be waited upon by machines than what they consider lesser humans.

Democrats know the police, firefighters, the military, and Trump until he got thrown out of office are all part of the government.

Translation: "I'm beautiful and really good at fucking, and I found a rich old dude and convinced him to marry me."
