Wilson corrupted the government.
Hefner corrupted the culture.
I consider Hefner the more destructive of the two.
Without the income tax and the federal reserve the liberals would have no money to fund corrupting the culture. Even Zero wouldn’t have any real authority without the trillions to spend.
The Progressive Party of 1912, which Roosevelt, Taft, FDR, and the like were all members. Marxists, all of them. They did far more damage to the culture of America than any pornographer could ever do. They set the stage for demanding money from the government.
Or was the culture already corrupt and thus readily accepted Hefner?
