US party shifts are interesting, but not as radical as they sound.
Branding is important, so they switched names often enough,.but the south was historically and is still conservative, and small government, while the north was historically and is still relatively progressive and big government.
Well, except Republicans are now big government..
@imeansurewhynot to your point, the Progressive Party was born out of the Republican Party in the north; it was after the New Deal that Republicans became known as conservatives for opposing it, which I find really interesting. Conversely, Democrats were conservatives in the south, but became liberals ever since supporting the New Deal.

thanks for clarifying, i was a wee lazy on the specifics.

I speculate that Trump is playing a similar role as FDR in flipping each party's form of government and serving more than 2 terms to get it done lol. Trump would flip the Republican Party back to centralized government and the Democrat Party back to decentralized government. If not during his presidency, I think at some point the flip will happen back to how it was in the First Party System.
ha, oh you nailed it! I couldn't figure out exactly how those puzzle pieces fit together, but that's exactly it.
Great insight.
