Yeah, he was a disaster domestically. People also forget the sequence that followed his declaration of war on Germany: the Germans, realizing they could not overcome the Western Front with American support, put Lenin on the train to take out Kerensky's government in Russia, unleashing 75 years of Bolshevik misery on that land. So when people complain about Biden (I still think W was worse, but it's like comparing which Apple in the barrel was most rotten) being the worst President, there's really no comparison to Wilson.
Was hoping he would get canceled for the racism of his 1915 decisions with the army, but BLM failed to do us a solid there.
Putting Wilson in power is one reason I would support chipping Teddy Roosevelt off Mount Rushmore.
Yes, that is interesting that they didn't cancel Wilson, but then again, he was their academic/professor "smartest guy in the room" president. Kind of like his girlfriend (not literally) their eugenics queen Margeret Sanger. They don't cancel her either, even though she was the evil behind "planned" parenthood.
The Republicans have really added to the federal leviathan (Nixon and the various alphabet soups that grew life during his administration, revenues doubled under Reagan but spending went through the roof, W gave us the "Patriot" Act, endless wars, "low sulfur" diesel, bank bailouts, and kept running his mouth the weeks leading up to the election to ensure that people were sufficiently tired of him and they voted for BHO rather than McCain. My wife and I remember saying, "just shut up", "get out of the spotlight", yet he couldn't help himself or he was doing what he was told... I still think McCain had a good shot if W hadn't done the bank bailouts and his mouth running leading up to election day.
My top five worst presidents that did the most to harm the Republic: Wilson #1, LBJ #2, BHO #3, FJB #4, with W very, very close behind at #5.
