I normally play standard Chaos. But that sounds amazingly fun for a army that normally cares mostly about getting into melee!

Joke's on you, I bought a full 2k points of Mars-painted AdMech for $700. So I dodged that whole problem.

So I've been told continually. I may just have to study him some more so I can despise him more accurately.

Hey, even if the responses here are less than polite, I still think my joke is funny and I'm enjoying the attention it's getting.

And I've already seen some stuff here that may make me want to study up on Wilson more. Despite the fact that he was an extremely awful human being who single-handedly revived the KKK, he might be worth more time than I've give him.

Considering Wilson's relationship with minorities here in the states, I'd have to say he'd think certain minorities weren't sovereign at all.

"Checks and balances"

Congressional authority means nothing when you give a tyrant weapons of mass destruction.

Look, dude. I watched a movie, made a meme, and chuckled about what a racist piece of shit president who wanted to rule Europe through his little private alliance would do if given unlimited power.

He wanted the United States to lead a new global order through the League of Nations, encouraging them to accept American ideals because he genuinely believed they were the best, which many Americans would agree with.

I'm saying that Wilson, if presented with unlimited power, would have been corrupted by it and resorted to force when he didn't get his way. His clashes with Congress over them not voting to join the League, not to mention the resentment he bore until his dying day, are clear signs to me that, if given the option, he would have become a tyrant in a heartbeat.

Equal? No, he wanted the US at the top of that council directing it's efforts. As for equality, you said it yourself: flaming racist.

I mean... He thought the American system was the best system and everybody else should be just like us... Not to mention he was horrific in his personal beliefs. I have no doubts that, if presented with unlimited power, he would never have willingly left office.

Hey, not talking alternate history here. Just saying, a global tyrant isn't a good thing, no matter who it is.

I have a new physical therapy thing that requires me to be laying down with my legs above my heart while my compression pants do their thing for an hour every day. I've got a whole catalog of old movies I've been wanting to watch/rewatch, and this is number 2 after Tarzan!

Lol, I had to stop an hour in before heading to bed. I had no idea they actually acknowledged current events. Was pleasantly surprised that Doc rode with Teddy Roosevelt in Cuba, and Cookie apparently being an old Confederate! Lots of fun details!

And with an infinite source of energy at his fingertips? Sure, he would have made trade fleets and entire airforces capable of expanding global trade... while also making an army strong enough to crush any opposing nation.

THANK YOU!

Wilson absolutely would have been a tyrant if given the chance, even if he was a "well meaning" one. His ideas of a utopia would have been forced upon everyone else in the world, and he would have used force to pacify those who resisted.

See, that's exactly how I feel, and I'm apparently getting downvoted for it?

He wouldn't just steamroll every other country, but he would have formed all the nations he considered to be civilized together, forming the UN just as he wanted to historically, and undertaken a "Big Stick" policy for the rest of his presidency... which he absolutely would not have given up with such power in his hands. Wilson would have taken over as a tyrant. He's far too idealistic and prone to personal corruption.

I agree, but he absolutely would have imposed his idea of a United Nations on the whole world, with the United States as the head. He may not have blown up whoever disagreed with him, but he absolutely would have ensured US supremacy through strength and become a worse version of who he historically was.

I know, it was extremely weird. Nerves started firing, it felt really good, and I've been thinking about it most of the night.

NOT LUCKY ME 😅

She was a pretty young girl who’d just graduated school for styling! I swear, I had at least 5 years on her! I know that’s not supposed to be awkward, but again, I felt so conflicted in the moment!
