Both want businesses to thrive, but Republicans want all obstacles removed from business growth, and tend to ignore paths of sustainable growth. Republicans also push for lower taxes, which makes sense if one is wealthy and doesn't need to rely on an external support system. The odd part comes from the package-deal associated with Republicans: right-wing extremists. Democrats have been okay keeping extreme left-wing out of most policies, but Republicans seem to be increasing acceptance.

> The odd part comes from the package-deal associated with Republicans: right-wing extremists. Democrats have been okay keeping extreme left-wing out of most policies, but Republicans seem to be increasing acceptance. My theory on this is that Republicans from roughly the 80s or maybe a little before got too good with the propaganda. Because of that and the loose party system we have in the US, people who grew up on conservative propaganda are now prominent elected officials and the cycle reinforces itself. Either that or it's just grifters who have realized there is no bottom with a substantial portion of "the base". It's probably a combination.
