[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woodrow Wilson. Surprised someone else thought so too. [/quote] Could you elaborate? I don’t remember much about his presidency other than he helped establish the League of Nations and his prolonged illness meant that his wife, Edith, was actually something of a shadow president, acting in his name. [/quote] If you dig deeper, from the Wikipedia article:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson "During his first year as president, Wilson authorized the widespread imposition of segregation inside the federal bureaucracy. He ousted many African Americans from federal posts and his opposition to women's suffrage drew protests." "In November 1919, Wilson's Attorney General, A. Mitchell Palmer, began to target anarchists, Industrial Workers of the World members, and other antiwar groups in what became known as the Palmer Raids. Thousands were arrested for incitement to violence, espionage, or sedition. Wilson by that point was incapacitated and was not told what was happening.[221]" https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-woodrow-wilsons-propaganda-machine-changed-american-journalism-180963082/ How Woodrow Wilson’s Propaganda Machine Changed American Journalism. The media are still feeling the impact of an executive order signed in 1917 that created ‘the nation’s first ministry of information’ "Immediately upon entering the war, the Wilson administration brought the most modern management techniques to bear in the area of government-press relations. Wilson started one of the earliest uses of government propaganda. He waged a campaign of intimidation and outright suppression against those ethnic and socialist papers that continued to oppose the war. Taken together, these wartime measures added up to an unprecedented assault on press freedom." https://www.npr.org/2022/12/13/1142474637/woodrow-wilson-led-the-u-s-into-wwi-he-also-waged-war-on-democracy-at-home Author Adam Hochschild says Wilson used the first World War as an excuse to spy on Americans, censor the press and plan for the mass deportation of immigrants. His new book is American Midnight. [/quote] He is classic progressive know it all with a twist of Lost Cause Southern sympathies. Not a conservative at all. [/quote]
