      Uhhh okay LBJ was a Southern Democrat from Texas, and in his younger days in the House in the 1930s and 40s he was a reliable pro-segregation vote en bloc with the "Southern wing" of the Democratic Party

      He helped kill bills to abolish poll tax and literacy tests blatantly designed to stop Black people from voting He stonewalled anti-lynching legislation After ascending to the Senate and becoming Majority Leader, he was responsible for sabotaging the 1957 Civil Rights Act

      Eisenhower had insisted on such a bill being passed as a way to quell tensions after Brown v. BoE and after he'd ordered troops to protect the Little Rock Nine LBJ undermined Ike and the GOP by using that procedural genius he was known for, adding a "poison pill clause"

      On "states' rights" grounds, stipulating that anyone prosecuted under the 1957 CRA would be tried in state rather than federal court, which meant in the South they'd face an all-white jury determined to acquit Not as dramatic as Strom Thurmond's filibuster but more effective

      That's just the stuff focused on Black Americans He was a huge Saber-rattler in 1947 after the war, demanding the US pursue aggressive colonial policies in Japan, Korea and the Philippines Telling Truman not to "give an inch to the teeming hordes of godless yellow dwarves"

      I mean you consider yourself a labor historian right His VP nomination was opposed by the whole "labor wing" of the Dems, AFL-CIO President George Meany called him "the arch-foe of labor", he spent his whole early career trying to expand Taft-Hartley

      You think the Vietnam War was bad, right? You agree with MLK that it was a grave injustice and that the specific injustice of the draft fell more heavily on impoverished Black men than any other demographic? Look up the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

      I'm an apologist for the Watergate Babies myself but folks like Matt Stoller (whom @findfredhampton has obviously cribbed most of his talking points from) like to call that generation the beginning of the "neoliberalization" of the Democrats
