I’m not sure where you get the idea Wilson is a hero to today’s Democratic Party.
We have Wilson to blame for this neoliberal/neoconservative nonsense of trying to remake the world into our image that has led to such a waste of blood and treasure and left wrecked states in its wake the past 30 years since the Cold War ended.
The Afghan Misadventure was Wilsonism at its “finest”.

And only joined the cause of women’s suffrage when shamed into it by his daughter and a hunger strike.
Some women today do view him as a hero for that.
Not sure I would.

He was pretty terrible.
Is very bad history book is one of the reasons that the lost cause myth persisted so long.

Taxpayers are ALWAYS harmed. It wouldn’t be any fun for them if we weren’t.

Blame the congressional black caucus, they demanded the war on drugs, and in fact said it was racist not to wage it.
