MODERATORS
Let's not forget that it was President Eisenhower, a Republican, who directed a Republican House and Senate to pass Dr. Salk's Polio Vaccine into immediate use in 1955.
You'd think these anti-vax nutjobs would let that one side on that fact alone. People are stupid to even consider letting that crap come back and potentially paralyze children.

but if I don't give my children polio, how will they grow strong?
Brother the conserves these days the ones that love John Birch who thought that Eisenhower was a communist.
The modern Republican party is a different beast entirely, ever since the Southern Strategy in the late 60's-early 70's that saw the party become the new home of the former Dixiecrats.
A lot of modern Republicans will also proudly wave confederate flags, even though it was the Republican push towards emancipation by Lincoln that caused the south to turn traitor in the first place. There is definitely no "party of Lincoln" anymore.
