Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

I don't think "socially conservative" is the best way to understand Bryan. He definitely made common cause on issues like Prohibition and the Scopes trial with forces that were straightforwardly reactionary, but there were also at least superficially progressive arguments that were current at the time for his positions on those issues, and by his own account they were a large part of what motivated him. He'd be horrified by both major candidates (after the brief moment of approval that the Mikado just mentioned), but vote unenthusiastically for Biden.
