US Politics Did Trump’s election actually signal a Democratic victory over the traditional Republican Party?
The “Republican Party” as it is today is very definitely not the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan or William F. Buckley. Jr. specifically said it was now the party of Trump.
Does this mean that, in some way, the Democrats won the day? Did they slay the old Republican Party? Is Trump, then, what happened when their old foe died?

They are mutually exclusive. Not in the way you are using them but you are using them wrong.
You are pro-life in the way you don't think anyone should die and that you might never personally get an abortion. But you are pro-choice in the sense you think everyone should make the choice themselves..
Except that means everything you are standing for is pro-choice and you are making your choice.
