MAYBE. Where would you have stood?
Andrew Jackson overthrew the Founders’ state .. which ended up giving us the Trail of Tears, a depression and the Civil War. Where would you have stood?
Ulysses Grant undertook the successful genocide of indigenous Americans. Where would you have stood?
Andrew Johnson tried to block reconstruction. His efforts, despite a failed effort at impeachment, gave us Jim Crow and a century of lynchings. Where would you have stood?
Harding supported a reckless celebration of the stock market. That gave us the Great depression. Where would you have stood?
McCarthy undermined the US government with conspiracy theories and calling everyone a Commie. That gave us the wasted efforts in Korea and Vietnam. Where would you have stood?
Nixon tried to become a dictator. Brave people stood up to him. Where would you have stood?
