5. ..it's not Republican versus Democrat. It's more of like a class war.

It's both, and more.
Add to that the White Supremacist color of this war, and the misogynistic view point of the males in this movement, and the picture gets even clearer.
You not only have to be white, you have to be privileged white male.
Lower and middle class white males are the "useful idiots" in this war. They're necessary to maintain power and control exclusively in the hands of the ruling class.
And that ruling class uses the republican party to set the rules at the governmental level, so money power and control are all concentrated in their hands.
