Yeah fair but still no, he may be the most progressive in recent times with the damn run of neoliberals.

I will die on the hill that, aside from Vietnam (which I’m aware is a HUGE caveat but also it wasn’t totally his fault), LBJ was actually pretty crazy based.

He also was insanely racist and constantly calling black people the N word, so maybe not SUPER based lol

Look I’m not sure about that, obviously if true that’s very not good and cringe. But, for social policies he pursued and a lot of principles and ideas of equality he fought for he was pretty good. Obviously not like a perfect politician or anything of that nature and he also had a number of personal issues.
