What if the Democratic party had not shifted into the more socially concerned, progressive, and seemingly "minority-friendly" party and the Republicans had continued to be the more socially open-minded - forcing the Democratic Party to lean further and further right to keep its staunchly anti-civil rights Southern base and woo white Christian social-conservatives?

In other words: Do not allow the Republicans and Democrats to switch places socially in the mid-20th century but they can remain fiscally the same.

The South and right-wing Christians, etc. remain Democrat, while the minority and socially progressive vote goes to the Republicans.

POD no earlier than 1900 and no later than, let's say, the seventies.

And... GO!
