Apperantly, democrats represent the rich and the GOP represents the poor

Even if they were, why do the billionaires donate to democrats?Because the billionaires agree with the dems who want to raise taxes on them (because some billionaires want to be taxed more). Bernie Sanders got plenty of large donations too.
So billionaires can vote against what you perceive to be their interests. Here is a bombshell: Everyone else can too. Your model for people's motivations is several of orders to simple to be useful.
The vikings moved from Norway/Denmark to Scotland/England/France. It wasn't love of the local culture and people that brought them.They were soliders. Migrants are not soliders; they are civilians.
No they were not. They were warriors. They were not ordered to attack, they were given an opportunity to seize land and riches and they took it.
People move to a land for more reasons than love of the preexisting culture. Want another example? Plymouth rock. They didn't come because they were in awe of the algonquian way of living and they were neither soldiers nor warriors.

You are assuming billionaires feel the urge to play reverse psychology.
They have no incentive too. They aren't a universally despised group in the US (U.S. views of billionaires now somewhat more negative than in 2020 | Pew Research Center). Only the universally despised have an incentive to play reverse psychology, and even then, it's only 50/50 due to them thinking that everyone would think they are playing reverse psychology (someone in Richard Spencer or NAMBLA territory would be an example).
Billionaires aren't in NAMBLA territory.
They didn't come because they were in awe of the algonquian way of living and they were neither soldiers nor warriors.
Is your fear that you don't want there to be a Mexican separatist movement along the southern border? Because there is a deportation free way to avoid that.

My fear is that you don't know what you're talking about because you constantly type absurdly naive categorical statements that are easily disproved.
You said all immigrants were patriots. That is not an absolutely or generally true statement.

If Patriot is defined as someone that prefers living in the US above all others, then it's a correct statement. Just like you love Texas if you move there from CA, even if you are a socialist. Maybe you love Austin, TX.
Every immigrant moving to America loves America. It might not be Kansas, America. It might be Queens, America.
Why move somewhere that you hate?

A nationalist - but good.

So a nationalist? Connotations are irrelevant.
If so, then Crimea is disputed territory. Who are the Patriots in Crimea? Are they Pro Russia, Pro Ukraine, or Pro Crimea?
If you have any allegience to any nation you want, it can be argued to be Patritism.
An American Patriot would want their area to stay or be annexed by the USA.
