Only by degree. The Democrats want to impose a full-on Leftist authoritarian, Socialist régime on us, while the Republicans just want more the traditional power of a society with a sort of nobility running it. They at least don't want to impose serfdom on the population as they recognize that would be bad for their business.
Terry, you've already proved you're a whacky, domestic terrorist supporting nutjob. Claiming the "Democrats want to impose a full-on Leftist authoritarian, Socialist régime on us" just makes you look wackier.
While I agree some Republicans want traditional government, you and your fellow Trumpers want to eliminate all opposition to an autocratic government with Trump as Dear Leader.
Providing how? I agree they certainly "care" more, but talk is cheap. Republicans, of course, don't give a shit.

Well, for instance, Medicaid and Medicare are essential to getting good mental health care. Pills aren't cheap, and neither are psychiatrists and counselors.
Agreed on all points. Where the Democrats fail is prioritizing banning guns over providing better mental health care.

Getting stubborn people to accept mental care might actually be more difficult than trying to limit assault weapons. Even if it was all paid for many would refuse any and all treatment.
It's a lot more difficult. My point is that, like Republicans giving lip-service to Christianity, Democrats only give lip-service to better mental healthcare in their quest to ban firearms.

Ban certain weapons is more truthful than ban firearms. We already ban plenty of weapons but many 2nd amendment types think they are entitled to even greater weapons.
Democrats want to ban firearms. The fact they want to start with "weapons of war" is telling since the two guns below are, indeed, weapons of war.
If you look at the stats, the primary firearm used in murders and suicides is handguns.
