I want people to answer me on this: what was Wilson supposed to do after the Zimmerman Telegram? "No worries, Germany, doesn't matter."?
The actions he took as President, while authoritarian, are not out of the norm. Lincoln ran a pretty authoritarian administration, among which included suspension of habeas corpus. FDR imprisoned Japanese-Americans for no real reason. Hell, if you want a chat about authoritarianism from Democrats, Obama's support of the surveillance state and his killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki could be described as authoritarian as well.
Not a defence. Just keep all this in mind.
And TR was not this uber-progressive on race his worshippers claim he was.
