Depends on what you mean by "Republican" because the Republican Party is radically different from the one of 80 years ago

He's also universally viewed as one of the most consequential progressive politicians in the history of the country. And Eisenhower most definitely was not a liberal.

The point is, saying there was some magical "flip" of the binary with the civil rights act is a read dumb oversimplification of history.
