It would be more correct to say that the “Trump wing” of the Republican party has become the party of the common man. Sadly, much of the GOP “establishment wing” is just as owned by the aforementioned military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, etc. as the Democrats.
Too much money, power, corruption and not enough statesmen. Government of for and by the people will not exist again and hasn’t for some time. At least in this country anyway.
