It’s not remarkable. The Reagan GOP was a coalition of capitalists, religious conservatives, and neocons united by anti-communism. The Soviet Union collapsed 35 years ago. Russia no longer poses any threat to capitalism or Christianity, leaving just the neocons. But neocons are liberals, and so have migrated back to the Democratic Party with the other liberals. It’s the reverse of the what happened when they left the Democratic Party in the first place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism
