The statement that is historically true is:

Democrats tend to support social programs, and Republicans tend to oppose them.

This reflects the traditional positions of the two parties, where Democrats generally advocate for government intervention in the economy and social welfare programs, while Republicans typically emphasize limited government and lower taxes, often opposing extensive social programs.
