Wasn't that back when republican meant liberal and democrat was conservative? When did they switch?
Right after Teddy actually. Taft and Harding and Hoover began allowing big business to establish itself. Beginning the whole robber baron era and leading to the dust bowl and Great Depression. Eventually, their fiscally conservative policies attracted socially conservative people because of the red scare and the fallout of the world wars.
Fiscal conservative was code word for undo the New Deal. Just like social conservative is code for undo the Civil Rights Act.
Yes.
