    And people say we aren’t ready for a woman president when I say AOC is our best chance.

    I’m pretty sure she’s not a rapist. And wouldn’t protect rapist. And also not a pedo.

      Outside of the blatant racism, he was generally a well respected President who designed a lot of the framework for the post World War II international order while not being able to implement it in his time.

        There was also the immense domestic repression, including jailing dissidents during WW1.

        Also, the racism had a huge impact. The USA was no anti-racist paradise before, but Wilson set matters back a half-fucking century. And in doing so, took an immense amount of energy of decent folk into fighting to claw back the rights of Black Americans.

        Exacerbating a problem not only exacerbates the problem, but also reduces resources available for all other problems.

        Jonah Goldberg, George Will, CATO, and many others would like to have a few words with you.

        Oh. And Shirley. I know you didn’t mean it to sound that way but she is still going to want to say something.

          He has been legally proven to be a rapist (and a racist as well). He had depositions with corroborating witnesses saying he is a pedophile. Allegedly there are Epstein docs saying he is as well. But it hasn’t been proven legally.

          Pedophilia is a mental illness. There isn’t a “both” here, pedophilia on its own doesnt make anybody a criminal. So please stop disregarding the severity of the situation, essentially spreading ableist disinformation.

    Ooohhh that’s sweet, this meme assumes he knows anything at all about American history. I bet if you gave him 5 minutes he’d have himself convinced he was part of founding this country.

    Is such a shame Grant is listed as corruption when nothing that happened during his administration would even register during the last 50 years of corruption. Hell compared to what’s happening right now his administration was Saint like.
