Surely does seem the bulk of this nation's problems have begun under demoncrats:

KKK - demoncrats

government propaganda - demoncrats

election of senators - demoncrats

social programs - demoncrats

jim crow - demoncrats

abortion - demoncrats

dissolution of the nuclear family - demoncrats

The full bundle of techniques pioneered by Wilson during the Great War were updated and used by later presidents when they sent U.S. forces into battle.

They were also used by Goebbels.

Wow!
Never even heard of this CPI before.
As we have now found out, we can do fake news and pure propaganda every bit as well as Stalin’s Pravda. Some would say the current US media is even worse than Pravda at it’s worst.

There's a lot of stuff they don't teach in school.

“Wilson was the worst President ever.”

After his stroke his wife Edith was the worst president, Woodrow just sat in his wheelchair and drooled on his shirt.

There have been a lot of terrible Presidents. That is up for debate.

Having said that I think Wilson was a Fabian Socialist which puts him in the running.

The early Fabians rejected the revolutionary doctrines of Marxism, recommending instead a gradual transition to a socialist society

Got us into that stupid war, the Germans had no intention of carying out what was in the Zimmerman Note. He also set back race relations decades, by far the most racist President we ever had.

Joseph Goebbels learned propaganda from Woodrow Wilson and George Creel .

His Presidency was during interesting times. I found it amazing that he got a free pass all these years. Finally, he’s getting scorn that he deserves!

Wilson is up there.

I order to get re-elected in 1864 Lincoln sent 100,000's of Federal troops head long into a bloody maw to take Atlanta and Richmond. The timing IMO is suspect. That bloody messy offensive worked however and the fall of Atlanta sealed the deal for the butcher from Illinois. Copperhead challenger Gen. McClellan never had a chance after that. This ranks up there in terribleness.

If the U.S. had stayed out of WW I, and if Germany won what would have happened? No WW II and no holocaust. Thanks for that Wilson!

He was truly, truly awful.

The only other possible contender is James Buchannan.

But Wilson's terrible polices still resonate a century later.

Also no Spanish Flu. And had Britain stayed out, they probably still have their Empire.

It was not just Democrats.

It was the Progressive ideology. Both Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were Progressives.

Progressive did do not believe in truth or natural law. They believed believe the Constitution was is outdated and obsolete.

They believed believe in the rule of experts, not the people.

That sort of thing happened in modern countries when they thought they were fighting total war. They went overboard with censorship and propaganda in the First World War, but it was still going on in the Second World War.
