LOL! But they haven’t stood for much else besides national security and a fair amount of crony capitalism until the modern conservative movement got started.

They stood for civil rights against the Southern racist RATs. Eisenhower sent troops to Arkansas in 1957 and nationalized the AKNG to protect the civil rights of black students.

Without Republicans, LBJ's civil rights act would have been killed by the RATs.

Until around 1935, most black politicians were Republicans.
