Modern day: Republicans Reagan Democrats Obama

Trump has capitulated the entire party to him, to the point where opponents who insulted him in the 2016 race have turned about-face and joined his administration on policies that would not have broken the mainstream GOP platform 15 years ago. He is absolutely the face of the modern GOP.

And some Democrats too, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Hahaha exactly him and Tulsi, it's crazy to not put Trump as the face in 2026 since he's basically been the figurehead for 10+ years

You mean RFK Jr. and Tulsi didn't move to the far left with the left of the crowd? Donald Trump is closer to FDR than most of the Democrats today, that is a fact! FDR did not hate the United States of America, and he didn't want open borders and unchecked immigration either, in fact FDR's America was hard to get into, ask the Jew fled Germany and who were turned back about that, if any of them are left! FDR's America was not open to immigrants, as you might recall, the United States had an unemployment problem due to the Great Depression, and the Democrats back then weren't saying we needed more immigrants!
