What two incidents are you attributing to LBJ?
I’d believe a great deal of things about him—but at least he wasn’t a communist dupe, whatever else he was. Though using the people’s money to buy the people’s vote is a backhanded way to something sort of like socialism.
LBJ was a work of art, but he was no commie! Actually, the way he rolled I am quite sure the commies were afraid of him. There is a book on Archive.org written by one of his political enemies...can’t remember the name...but there are lots of interesting stories about the rampant corruption. I think the guy who wrote it was a friend of John Bel Geddes or something. Definitely worth a read.
