People like DiFi and Eric Cantor are, first and foremost, oligarchs, and only secondarily Republicans or Democrats; their party branding has about as much significance as the "flags of convenience" flown by the superships that bring Walmart's plastic trash from China.

Think there's no difference between the parties? This doesn't count?
