So the two main parties in America, the republicans and democrats. Is it true there was a time when both parties weren't so different?

I'm from Ireland btw.

Not only were they not so different with a lot of overlapping middle ground they agreed upon, after the 60's Civil Rights Act they actually switched positions on those they disagreed upon.

@dancingtongue No.

They switched position well before the 60s.

They were also always very different with very different ideas.
