Also the difference is it's mostly executive action and literally every single GOP member falls in line unless they are retiring so they never reign him in. Had Obama or Biden had that blind support it could have possibly been different.

Trump got that blind support by first getting populist support and leveraging it. Democrats don't court their populists, they scold them.
