Along these same lines, watch at least the opening statements of first JFK-Nixon debate [1].
Nixon sounds like a Biden or Bush, he could be on the debate stage in 2024. He wouldn't win, but he would sure fit in.
JFK sounds like Xi Jinping. He won, but was assassinated 3 years later.
America is remarkably good at reinventing itself and what it means to be "American". Our history is worth studying in depth, without ideological blinders.
