I appreciate the kind words! I learned most of what I know about LBJ from his presidential library, which obviously is not the most unbiased source of information. But the picture it paints is that he wanted to to what he believed was right, even if it was unpopular within his own party at the time. That's the kind of behavior I respect in a leader. It's the same reason I respect the hell out of Bernie Sanders.
Ew you're one of them Bernie Bro socialists, give me a fucking break. I mean, I am one too, but Jesus, it's so cringe standing up for the disadvantaged and doing the right thing all the time. Looking out for yourself at the nation's expense, on the other hand, that's rad.
You had me in the first half, lmao.
