Under the leadership of Lincoln and a Republican Congress, the Republican Party led the fight to defeat the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]] in the [[American Civil War]], preserving [[Union (American Civil War)|the Union]] and [[Abolitionism|abolishing slavery]]. Afterward, the party largely dominated the national political scene until the [[Great Depression]] in the 1930s, when it lost its congressional majorities and the Democrats' [[New Deal]] programs proved popular. [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s election was a rare break in between Democratic presidents and he presided over a period of increased economic prosperity after [[World War II]]. His former vice president [[Richard Nixon]] carried 49 states in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]] with what he touted as his [[silent majority]]. The [[1980 United States presidential election|1980 election]] of [[Ronald Reagan]] realigned national politics, [[The Three Leg Stool (GOP)|bringing together]] advocates of free-market economics, [[conservatism|social conservatives]], and [[Cold War]] foreign policy hawks under the Republican banner.<ref name="Devine-2014">{{Cite web |last=Devine |first=Donald |date=April 4, 2014 |title=Reagan's Philosophical Fusionism |url=https://www.theamericanconservative.com/reagans-philosophical-fusionism/ |access-date=January 18, 2023 |website=The American Conservative |language=en-US |archive-date=April 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404162912/https://www.theamericanconservative.com/reagans-philosophical-fusionism/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Since 2008, Republicans have [[Factions in the Republican Party (United States)|faced significant factionalism]] within the party's ranks.<ref name="Cohn2023" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite news |last=Broadwater |first=Luke |date=2023-10-23 |title='5 Families' and Factions Within Factions: Why the House G.O.P.

<!-- The contemporary demographics sentence has been discussed several times on the talk page. Please obtain consensus before implementing changes. -->In the 21st century, the party receives its strongest support from [[Urban–rural political divide|rural voters]], [[Evangelicalism|evangelical Christians]], [[Mormons]], [[Man|men]], [[Old age|senior citizens]], and [[Voter turnout in United States presidential elections|white voters]] without [[educational attainment in the United States|college degrees]]. On economic issues, the party has maintained a pro-business attitude since its inception. It has a [[neoliberal]] outlook, supporting low taxes and deregulation while opposing [[Socialism in the United States|socialism]], [[Labor unions in the United States|labor unions]] and [[single-payer healthcare]]. A [[Trumpism#Economic policy|populist faction]] supports economic protectionism. On social issues, it advocates for [[Abortion law in the United States by state|restricting the legality of abortion]], discouraging and often prohibiting [[recreational drug use]], promoting gun ownership and [[Gun law in the United States|easing gun restrictions]], overturning the [[Same-sex marriage in the United States|legality of same-sex marriage]] and opposing the [[transgender rights movement]]. In foreign policy, the party establishment supports [[neoconservatism]] and [[Foreign interventions by the United States|interventionism]], while the [[Trumpism#Foreign policy|populist]] faction promotes [[isolationism]] and [[non-interventionism]].{{cn|date=June 2024}}
