Republican Party (United States)

The Republican Party was a major political party in the United States that existed from 1854 to the dissolution of the union after the Nogales nuclear war in 2134. The party had many different political ideologies over time; it was founded in the 1850s to oppose the expansion of slavery. From the early 1900s to the 2040s, the party was known as a conservative political party in the United States, as opposed to the Democratic Party, its main rival at the time, which was known as a more left-leaning political party. After the 2040s, the Republican Party increasingly shifted to the left on especially economic issues, and won 5 straight presidential elections from the 2050s to the 2060s. After the collapse of the Democratic Party and the rise of the Green Party in the 2080s, the party began to shift slightly to the right economically again, but was still generally a social democratic party and agreed with many of their economic positions. 27 Republicans held the office of United States president throughout the country's history, the most of any one political party.
