Well, you may be right about the GOP 150 years ago, but since the Nixon "southern strategy" in the early 1970s, a lot has changed with the GOP if not entirely flipped. As a student of history I like looking to the past to interpret the present and think about the future, but a rote comparison and extension is not warranted.
There is definitely that through line from Reconstruction and Jim Crow to today’s MAGA.
