The Republican Party: A Coalition of the Four Dominant Types of Conservative Groups Identified in the Republican Party. How They Evolved and Influenced the Republican Party and Current Politics.

Although there are certain beliefs and traits most Republicans share, one must be careful about grouping all conservatives together as a monolithic group and this four part coding helps highlight both commonalities and distinctions.
