Some Presidents have more lasting effects than others. For example, we will be paying off Bidenâs 8 trillion in new debt for many years. Abraham Lincoln took away the Democratsâ slaves and that stayed in place for a long time.

And Trump's debt as well.
As for party distinctions, don't forget that much like today (with subsets in each party: Dems have mainstream libs and fringe Progressives...and the GOP is made up of mainstream cons and not-really-republican-anymore-Trumpers, which has an elusive plank...)so were parties in the first century or two of our nation's maturity.
Some were absorbed by other parties, some simply vanished through attrition, blah blah blah.
But the real point I'm making is that using a party name or title today does not have the same meaning as the one(s) you wish to denigrate today, specifically the Democrats of nearly 200 years ago who owned the vast majority of the human slave labor force in America, were what became a subset known commonly as "Southern Democrats". And Ironically, over the last 60 years they have left the Democrat party en masse and joined the GOP...every one of those states are solidly red since then, around the time of the Civil Rights stuff last century
Don't fret, things will change again. It has already begun as far right authoritarian rulers are enamored with the authoritarian
successes of Commie dictators. And Commie dictators are helping in anyway the can with the elections of right wing fascits everywhere.
The philosophies and bases of each leader matter not any more...it's the ease of accomplishing whatever they want without interference from nit picky courts, lawyers, free press et al that is the attraction.
There are almost no more boogey men Commies or Right wing Nazis/Fascists that aren't in the same fraternity these days despite polar opposite political/economic philosophies...it's the means not the end that matters.
