@Sez B 20 years? They both jumped further right with McCarthyism, the Red Scare, and the Cold War. The Democrat party ditched being the union party for workers, and joined being another corporate party. More Democrats, now, might be slightly left of Bill Clinton, but he was well right of FDR.
The Republicans have gone crazy far right, keeping that McCarthyism mentality, along with a theocratic mentality, adding in Southern racists, adding in Tea Party nutters, working up an 8 year racist frenzy against Obama ... and then, after creating this crazy core, Trump came along and hijacked it, playing on all their worst attributes.
