    I mean would it make more sense to call it the "Roosevelt Project" because FDR at least represented a Democratic party that had some semblance of sentience

      The reason I said Reagan is because there is no self respecting conservatives who would identify with anyone who may have been perceived as liberal. Even though it would make sense to have a democrat as the face, it would turn away too many god fearing and freedom loving patriots

      also they fucking love that guy

      I looked at the list of Democratic presidents to try and find our version of Lincoln and Reagan where the other party embraces them, at least with hindsight.

      I don’t know if JFK was popular or not among Republicans, the next closest I think would be Andrew Jackson because maybe he was awful enough to have crossover appeal.

      Ideologically, Clinton would make the most sense, but he’s tainted.
