Republicans still deeply abhor the 1960s because they were in much the same position we Democrats find ourselves today. Democrats owned the Administration and Congress; the courts and media were relatively liberal; the population was sympathetic to civil rights and progress; and we even had a misbegotten insergent WAR. And we had a popularly nasty term for the right-wing, comparable to their assiduously now-corrupted term 'liberal'; and that nasty term was 'radical conservative'. We had other terms of 'endearment' like 'McCarthyite' and 'John Bircher', terms as equally poisonous as 'Communist' and 'Red' as applied to liberals but those homegrown examples of repression were less hyperbolic and therefore more believable.
But the term'radical conservative' won't suffice today since Republicans have co-opted both 'liberal' and 'radical' to apply exclusively to the left. We need a brand name for Republicans and I think that name is...
'Elitist' and its root 'Elite'---The Elitist Party---too Elite to volunteer or send their sons & daughters to fight---too Elite to pay fair taxes; etc., etc. Although it can also apply to the Elite of the Democratic Party (not a bad thing), its beauty is that it separates the Republican big-shots from NASCAR Dads & pickup truck drivers who would not be considered by anyone, much less themselves, as 'Elite'. Other examples of it's useage: too Elite to respect human rights---too Elite to care about the environment---too Elite to think about U.S. jobs---too Elite to be truthful---too Elite to be decent---too Elite to love country over power---too Elite to respect the Constitution---too Elite to be held accountable---too Elite to care about WAR casualties---too Elite to equip the troops---etc, etc., ad infinitum. And the clincher comparable to that of Marie Antoinett's 'They have no bread? Let them eat cake', is the aristocratic statment from the Elite mother of Anti-christ, "Why should I bother my beautiful mind with the deaths of American Soldiers"!!
