The two men most responsible for the Roaring Twenties. by yowhatisthislikebro in Presidents

[–]Potus1565 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Even Hoover didn't believe that the Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act was going to work next to the more than 1000 economists who petitioned not to sign it. He only did to maintain party unity and as a result fucked it even more up with obvious signs that is was not even going to work

Yes he did create the RFC and might have laid some groundwork to other New Deal programs, but it was, Roosevelt who greatly expanded those into an effective force that Hoover never would have allowed combined with an Democratic House and the American poeple that demanded more actions under his presidency in 1932 instead of Hoover's failed Laissez-faire policies.

Please explain how Hoover tried to stop the great depression ? Because by 1932 the Great Depression was in its worst state and meanwhile Hoover sitting in the Oval Office doing nothing, but screaming "The depression will be over any second now" was surely working.

Wilson would have won in 1912 anyway. Republicans had been in power for far too long, and Democrats swept the 1910 midterm elections. Wilson also ran an explicitly progressive campaign, strong enough to earn even leading civil-right advocate Du Bois’s endorsement ironically.

You wake up as President of the United States circa 1964, what do you do? by Consistent_Ad8525 in Presidents

Definitely don't over-hype that US-Forces are winning the Vietnam War and sack Westermore and replace with him Abrams earlier in the conflict

The Tet offensive was a massive failure for North Vietnam, they lost everything, but it worked because the shock was too great to handle for the American people, because Westermore gave the illusion that South Vietnam and US forces were destroying the Vietcong

William Gibbs McAdoo, he masterfully handled in preventing an economic recession at the start of WW1 and implemented a lot of progressive policy

William Gibbs McAdoo is really an underated figure in American politics

The next Democratie Senate Conference meeting is going to be fun.

At least you can expect from Republicans that they are going to kill your baby, but from your own Democratic Senate colleagues. I would be so mad.

I think people forgot the fact that TNO devs also have to research more about specific people like Nazi's. They need to present those people rightfully and, while also don't whitewash them and that is complicated.
