The Democratic Party has changed a lot since the time you describe; and, the Republican Party has also changed so much that, then, it gave us Lincoln, and now, it gives us Trump.
They're not really the same entities they were before; it's more like they switched places. Today's Democratic Party is more like the former Republican Party, and today's Republican Party is more like the former Democratic Party.
Oh, Good Grief! That is complete nonsense, and just a liberal Democrat talking point to try and explain away their racist past. But they own it. The Republican party has NEVER EVER been anything like this wildly liberal woke emotional nonlogical Democrat party of today. I have WAY too many friends who were Kennedy Democrats and are now Republican.
