I’m currently reading “Illusion of Victory: America in WWI”. Wilson’s mania for getting the US to save Europe’s aristocracy from that bloodbath ginned up our press to the point that a white hot hatred for anything German led to the lynching of random and innocent German Americans, in one case pulling a guy jailed for being a German lacking enthusiasm for Wilson’s war, from his cell and lynching him on the spot. These lynchings were all north of the Mason-Dixon Line. The press in America are the bootlicks and running dog lackeys of the ruling class, AKA the hoarding class. You see a news crew in the field, go out of your way to spit on them.
History is repeating.

Wilson, by contrast, served two full and consequential terms. He was the only Democrat re-elected to the job during the century between 1832 and 1936. He was lionized by liberals and progressives in academia and the media for most of the century after he left office in 1921. In my youth, and perhaps yours, Wilson was presented in history books as a tragic hero whom the unthinking American people didn’t deserve. He was often placed highly on academics’ rankings of the presidents.
Princeton University its school of international relations for him. Even in rescinding that honor in June 2020, the university’s named press release declared: “Though scholars disagree about how to assess Wilson’s tenure as president of the United States, many rank him among the nation’s greatest leaders and credit him with visionary ideas that shaped the world for the better.”
