Rate the Presidents, Installment #36: Lyndon B. Johnson

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

The start of a long line of horrific failures and abysmal mediocrities in the highest office (that ended in the election of 2008).

The highest I can give is two, mainly due to the VRA etc. not that I give him that much credit - it was the work of numerous grassroots campaigners that he would desperately coopt for his own "legacy". Whatever. His "legacy" actually turned out to be one of the most blunderous, self-defeating and criminal conflicts the country ever has dealt with, so he cAn suck it.

I also think the famed Johnson Treatjent was both overstated in importance and glorified bullying/corruption.

I will give him that his SE Asia policy although less popular was far less monsterous than his successor's. Not that that says very much at all.
