5. Use to be a far more diverse party. So were we Dems back in the day.

In the 60's, LBJ had to cross the aisle and get Republican support to pass the Civil Rights Act since the southern wing of the Democratic Party was having none of it. Lincoln's Republican party was a coalition of radicals and conservative former Whigs and No-Nothings that hated the then Democratic Party more than they hated each other. Lincoln deftly played both wings of his party. A true political master.

This recent polarization of political parties based on widely divergent world views is a relatively new phenomena in American politics. A political and philosophical self sorting that sociologists and political scientists will write about and talk about for centuries.
