> Both are staunchly anti-immigration Anti-immigration is a new GOP sentiment. Traditional small-government libertarianism/conservatism is pro-immigration. Look at Bush and Reagan. Anti-immigration is more in line with the labor movements, like the one run by Cesar Chavez. > both reject social programs aimed at helping those in poverty (including healthcare, such as the Affordable Care Act Not true at all. Many GOP members I know would be pro-gov't healthcare if we had our borders under control. The main difference I see between the dems and GOP in this regard is nationalism. > both oppose unions Not really. Trump's policies are incredibly popular among union members even if not popular with union leadership. Those two groups have different interests. > It's the anti-union, labor-exploiting wealthy who are the stars of the GOP. Who no one in the GOP likes anymore. Honestly, go read patriots.win or something, they'll tell you exactly what they think of the wealthy GOP.
