I think the differences between the two are vastly overstated. When push comes to shove, they'll always band together to screw over regular Americans.

Yeah, this. The Christofascist and Strasserite wings of the GOP are firmly united when it all comes down to it.
Strasserites were basically Stalinists whom Hitler eventually killed off.

Well, there are Dominionists, Strasserites, and then actual Fascists. The thing is that they overlap 80-90% of the time and that to get elected a pure Fascist like Trump, a pure Strasserite like Giuliani or even Mc Cain or even a dominionist like Cruz, Palin or even W will have to take on the other two hats and especially to get reelected, they have to deal with things like 9/11 and Russia's shenanigans in Syria.

Maybe a primary motivation can be discerned by nitpicked, but not actual policy.

You can probably also say this by about Democrats. Many people voted for Obama in 2008 thinking that he was more of a pure Liberal than a Social Democrat and yet because of the Foreclosures and the run on the banks, Obamacare, Progressive Taxation, and the Stimulus became bigger issues than Iraq, the Gays, The SCOTUS, or Civil Rights though these issues would only become important when he was a lame duck and people looked for the Right for leadership by then.

... You actually believe McCain and Giuliani are Strasserites?

Are you talking Leo Straus?

If you don't know who Gregor and Otto Strasser are, you don't understand Strasserism. If you believe Trump is a fascist, you are an unbearable, obnoxious fool. If you believe Ted Cruz is a Dominionist, you are a simplistic hack.

Very disingenuous of you to use the term "Strasserites" then, while also talking about fascists.
