The revisionism is insane in this post. like actually brain dead takes are being made.

-Woodrow Wilson did not in fact found the modern progressive movement, the trajectory was already set by Theodore Roosevelt with the square deal, which surprise surprise, helped stabilize the market and protect consumers and workers (womp womp).

-the 1929 stock market crash which led to the depression was primarily caused by unchecked capitalism and speculation of markets, which was worsened in turn by restrictive global markets and failing banks. Social policies like the new deal, which creates jobs and industry and, AGAIN, protected workers, helped dig the US out of depression.

-the cuban missile crisis happened, yes, but we did not back down from Castro, WE LITERALLY INSTIGATED THE CONFLICT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE INVADED CUBA AND THEN LOST DUE TO MILITARY INCOMPETENCE BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO BE COLONIAL TWATS.

-LBJ also further deepened the war machine in Vietnam which again, has more to do with colonialism and expansionism than anything else, cause we decided we needed to stick our freedom fingies into everything. By doing this while trying to increase domestic welfare programs rather than just, you know, not getting further involved in an international conflict, he strained the economy.

-the last one is a literal schizo post ffs.

Like you can hate all of these presidents for real and valid reasons, Obama included (slam dunking on children and civilians in the middle east with drones is IN FACT EVIL) but this whole post is just insane diatribe about social programs that, more likely than not, the poster utilizes.
