Interestingly there's been a few party shifts. It's not just one direction.
For example, Reagan was pretty pro immigration and pro vaccination. Before 9/11 Republicans were the party of immigration. Even Trump in 2016 was the pro-LGBT candidate, that's certainly shifted dramatically. "Donald Trump said I could take a pee anywhere in the Trump facility, so I am going to go take a pee in the ladies' room."
One thing I'd give republicans is they are far more responsive to their base vs the democrats.
