At least it's on-brand for R. D still tries to pretend otherwise.

Good point, that didn't go well last time did it? Those who forget history...

The issue is that besides money, and thanks to it, power (military, police, etc.) is much more concentrated in the hands of the rich than before, in my view.

I don't disagree, but the wealth disparity is a sort of indicator of all the rest, at least IMO.
