Franklin Roosevelt's progressive Republican New Deal

Suppose Republicans were in office and got the blame for US involvement in WW1. I think that a Democrat would win in 1920 and would likely be fairly conservative.

Maybe progressive folk would tend towards the Republican party. Remember that Eleanor had a huge lever to influence her husband.

WI the New deal were roughly as now but under Republicans. There would be one key difference. Such an admininstration would owe nothing to Southern racists.

Could such an administration have achieved the same things on the economy and still get something done on Civil Rights?
