The thing that has changed about the Republican Party over the last few years is that they are an entrenched majority party that is becoming arrogant.
The other major problem is that the Democratic Party is dominated by its fringe left wing, so it provides no competition in the middle. This allows the Republicans to drift into a big government mentality in order to pick up marginal Democratic voters. It also allows Republicans to ignore their small government base since no one else is competing for those votes.
We really need a functional Democratic Party in this country in order to keep the Republicans in check.
