    It's cool to be so far on the wrong side of racial justice that you just leave racism out of political history to make your story workhttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1271466065013485569 …

    No figure in American history is more important to modern progressivism - its theories of governance, its intellectual stylings, its migration into the Democratic Party since 1912 - than Woodrow Wilson. https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1271462458658603008 …

        These people show, repeatedly, that Black people are of no importance to them. Wilson is considered the most racist president of the 20th century. To omit that from any discussion of Wilson means, by default, that you don't care about Black people.

        it all seems to be rooted in the most insanely simplistic "my sports team vs. your sports team" view of history that undergirds so much of the gibberish put out by D's*uza et. al.

        Why would @baseballcrank need to "know" about someone who wasn't "foundational" to today's Conservatism?

        even if this were true as a matter of intellectual history it doesn't seem to be responsive to coaston's claim that very few living people on the left of center feel strongly emotionally attached to statues of him

        Wilson was a major figure in the development of progressivism, but only in a purely economic and administrative sense. But since these doofuses can't absorb any concept with dollars involved... you get shit like this, or shit about the Civil War being about "the economy"
