One of the most interesting things that I have noticed in my life time is the shift in positions of the rat and republican parties. (Disclaimer, My family has been Republican since Fremont and Wigs before that.)

There has always been a strong small government wing in the Republican Party, mostly Westerners as opposed to the progressives in the East. It seems to me that the Parties, with exceptions, have done a 180 since that scum TDR.

My family has also been Republican since the Civil War.

By "TDR" I assume you mean FDR, unless you are conflating the two.

The proto-Socialist Populist movement was big in the Southeast and Midwest and horrified the at that time conservative Eastern Establishment. The Conservative Eastern Establishment is now the Liberal Eastern Establishment, though how this happened is a bit of a mystery.
