You talk as if opposing your own people being massacred in a land grab is the equivalent of fighting for your pork barrel.
Also, what binds different constituencies together is a common core set of beliefs and policies. Republicans have their core beliefs (Christian White Nationalism with Ayn Rand "libertarian" capitalism), and are willing to go to the wall to defend and impose them. Democrats only seem to care about feeding their wealthiest donors.
