it's not like Ike didn't do the same things that would anger a left-winger about JFK... inaction on Southern US apartheid, escalated US intervention in Vietnam, backed the Iranian coup...

and, in retrospect, the interstate highway system should not be celebrated.

Ike was obviously terrible but he at least didn't try to start a nuclear war to prove he was tough on communism

Yeah, this.

Ike threatened nuclear action in Korea.
