At the end of the day it’s never been about right or left it’s about the very ultra wealthy vs everyone else.

The irony though is that the best way to keep the Uber wealthy in check and protect the middle class is through taxes, govt regulations/laws and social programs. You know like fair corporate and personal tax rates, FDA, USDA, etc to keep our food, medicine safe etc. social security and medical care for folks.

Our last guilded age of sh1t came to an end with FDR and raising taxes on wealthy individuals and businesses. He also created social security. Then LBJ ushered in Medicare.

Both of these were democrats. The republicans have been crying socialism over the above since their inception but that’s the reason we have had a big strong middle and working class since the 40’s.

Unfortunately the dems got hijacked by identity politics and forgot it’s “always about the economy stupid”.
