Broadly speaking, the Republican Party has historically been the party of business/industrialists while the Democratic Party was populist. Both parties used to have a lot more ideological variation within them (i.e. you had more progressive Republicans and conservative Democrats).

Starting in the 1960s, both parties became dominated by social issues and embraced neoliberal economics. That is why the American """""political spectrum""""" can be divided nicely into "liberal capitalists who support gay marriage" v.s. "liberal capitalists who oppose gay marriage"
