    Republican in name only, or RINO. Republicans back then were the same as Democrats today in terms of policy which I find weird.

    why?

    popular consensus is that barry goldwater was a trump like populist presidential candidate that took advantage of american’s very strong disapproval of the civil rights & voting acts and dog-whistled the republican party into adopting its present day policy; do you not see it that way?
