The Democratic Party has a shameful history. The Republican Party historically were the better party. There used to be large contingents of liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. Things change, political parties change.
The truth is that the Republicans have been on a downward trend ever since they abandoned reconstruction in the South in the late 1800s. Yet even then they were better than their opposition.
Political Parties are about forming coalitions and getting votes to win elections, they are not really about standing up for what is right or wrong. Politicians have to navigate that reality. I am not saying the Democrats are incapable of the same maneuvering to win elections but the Republican Party has quite frankly in recent years decided to go in a direction that is quite cowardly. They are trapped by Trump and his populism, his apparent criminality. It's quite frankly disgusting how many cowards there are in the Republican Party enabling Trump and their electorate. It's depressing.
