This INTELLIGENCER article from last summer explains (new to me) that the Republican Party of Reagan/Bush was actually an anomaly, and the Party of Trump is what the GOP was before Reagan/Bush and is now once again. Who knew?

What was once known as the Republican party has certainly changed its spots over its history.

That's really interesting. I've lived through a lot of this and I wouldn't have picked that up.
