In name only by today's standard.

Republicans and Democrats switched idealogies for some reason down the road.

That's why it's always so weird when modern day Republicans praise and brag about Lincoln when he would be totally against the modern conservative party with a fury.

Buchanan is a lot closer to modern conservativsm and Lincoln is closer to modern democrats.

It was around the civil rights era. Republicans were generally more liberal than Democrats in those days, but in the 1964 presidential election, Barry Goldwater won the Republican primary. He was staunchly against the civil rights act, while Lyndon B. Johnson was more open to it.

Republicans also started successfully using the southern strategy to appeal to the racist voting block that always voted for the Southern Democrats in the south.

Lyndon B. Johnson won the election and went on the sign the civil rights act of 1964 as well as the voting rights act of 1965. This along with the Republican southern strategy tactics pushed the Southern Democrat voting block to vote for Republicans and pushed the black community to start voting for Democrats.

Since the late 60s the Republican party had been patchwork adapting thing from southern states to appeal to them and win their votes. It started with the most obvious at the time, appealing to racists in the post-civil rights era who felt abandoned by both parties, but it's since been developing into more and more "traditional values" and christian malarky.

Basically anything they can do to win poor or scared people over to their cause while still fucking them and stuffing their pockets
