>>So to be clear here --
>>1. Do you think that the Democrats polices benefit the rich more than the Republicans?

What I can see is that Tariffs and tax reductions have filled federal coffers (check out latest figures, Bill) and now offer African American and other neglected communities an opportunity for meaningful work, allowing restoration of pride.

Seems to me the rich opposed the tariffs and took their one-off profits from the tax deductions as usual, but now it benefits the poor.

I'd expect that support from the GOP from the poorer flyover states, is only going to increase while the wealthy coastal states become almost entirely Democrat enclaves.

Re healthcare: just as it was crazy to cover pre-existing conditions without compulsory participation, it's crazy to talk about "Medicare for All" if the "all" includes anybody who can arrive on US soil by whatever means. Securing the border has to be Step 1 towards any universal benefit, or else anybody in the world with an expensive condition can simply pay a coyote to access free care and the mess you face now, is nothing compared to what you should expect. So I'll let you figure out who is the craziest on that one.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
