Not the way TR practiced it. Making labor and management sit down together and end a strike was a good thing. The Klamath Basin dam pact was a great deal while it lasted. Environmental conservation TR style was a good thing, until it went mental. I’d say the evil “progressivism” didn’t get into high gear until Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, even if it was around in nascent form for 140 years.
TR was a monster. He was as socialist as FDR. And he gave us Wilson.
