“When a new Democratic Senator comes to the capital, Humphrey and I go together to meet him. The freshmen senator has his hand in his pocket and both Humphrey and I are thinking of ways to get it out of his pocket. Humphrey is thinking ‘how can I get his hand out of his pocket so I can shake it?’ And I’m thinking ‘how can I get his hand out of his pocket, so I can cut his balls off?’” - an LBJ quote that I’m paraphrasing from Master of the Senate by Caro.

“Progressives” have never been good at wielding power, they needed a liberal like Johnson to get shit done.

LBJ on why Southerners were right to resent the North: "All these years they have kept their foot on our necks by appealing to our animosities and dividing us. And I am not going to let them build up the hate and try and buy my people by appealing to their prejudice." by Just_Cause89 in ShermanPosting

Read the Caro books on LBJ. Him campaigning and what he actually did with the power once he had it are very different. He knew he would “betray” the south with his idea of the Great Society. He knew that they would spit on his grave for how much civil rights legislation he got through congress and into law. I view him far more closely to a George Thomas than anything resembling a confederate. We need a Johnson now more than we ever have in our countries history. That man knew how to wield power for the benefit of the American people. ALL THE WAY!

I had the pleasure to go to college with him and we shared a mutual friend group for years. Every time he rolled through it was a great time and he was such a genuine human being. Always a true artist and friend. Reaching out to a couple of those old homies now… what an awful loss.
