Any post-Nixon one, anyway. The list before him is fairly non-objectionable. Lincoln. Grant. Roosevelt. Hoover. Eisenhower. I guess Taft through Coolidge were fairly forgettable, by today’s standards.
I don’t know about that. Woodrow Wilson was a major factor in the regression after reconstruction. It’s important to remember that democrats before the 1930s were the conservative party.
While it wasn’t popular at the time, Wilson’s decision to enter WW1 was actually the best thing for American interests in particular and worldwide democratic reform in general.
People really don’t understand exactly how fucked in the head Kaiser Wilhelm and his allies were. Absolute monarchies could very well still be the world wide norm without the decisive, undeniable loss of the Central Powers to the liberal nations.
Does that decision undo all the harm he did? Who knows?
And if it wasn’t Nixon just choose literally any other (former) Republican president.
* Former in parentheses for future reference
