For Hezbollah and Hamas, US Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin as they have both provided unlimited support to Israel, and sought to create a “New Middle East”.

Two sides of the same coin to anyone paying attention for the last 80 years.
Hezbollah and Hamas have a better grasp of american politics than most americans
- Both Hamas and Hezbollah have popular support from their constituencies and are functionally their own governments. It doesn't matter if they're good guys or not, they're the ones who have the mandate of the people. Israel's murder spree only increases support for the Axis of Resistance.
  
  For what it’s worth, Hezbollah has 13 of 128 seats in Lebanon’s parliament, and the CIA World Factbook says about a third of Lebanese are Christian, so I’m going to disagree with your characterization.
  Hamas hasn’t held elections in nearly 20 years, so I’m going to disagree with you again. Israel’s accelerated genocide may have galvanized support for Hamas recently, but I haven’t looked into that.
- People resisting a genocide are in fact the good guys.
