Not really, there are substantial differences between the Democrats and the Republicans.

For one, a fundamental difference between the ideologies of the parties is in the role of the state. Republicans want the state to not intervene in the free market, whereas Democrats want the state to enforce the free market.

Billionaires who want the state to actively help them get even richer became Democratic donors, whereas billionaires who believe that the state should not interfere with the free market and how they make their money became the GOP donors.

TL;DR: there’s no difference for your average American, but it’s an ideological split among the bourgeoisie
