Reasons Woodrow Wilson Destroyed the United States

---

You missed number (1) which is Teddy Roosevelt’s stupid decision to not run for another term and then trying to interject himself into the 1912 race because Taft pissed him off.

Many consider him the worst president we've ever had but Wiki says many scholars rank him in the top tier, which is laughable. He was an elitist and thought that he and others with prestigious degrees should rule and lord over everyone else. He went to Princeton and Johns Hopkins, which is not surprising.

This from Wiki:
During his first year as president, Wilson authorized the widespread imposition of segregation inside the federal bureaucracy. He ousted many African Americans from federal posts and his opposition to women's suffrage drew protests. His first term was largely devoted to pursuing passage of his progressive New Freedom domestic agenda. His first major priority was the Revenue Act of 1913, which lowered tariffs and began the modern income tax. Wilson also negotiated the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, which created the Federal Reserve System.

He grew the government and laid the foundation for the monstrosity we have now that is wildly out of control.

He was a racist that believed in segregation but since he was on the left, that always gets excused.

Sorry not sorry. I’m not letting anyone blame Teddy Roosevelt for Wilson taking a wrecking ball to the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson was a racist, elitist, evil man. He rationalized his evil. He was a fricking tyrant. He was a living example of the banality of evil.

Worst President by far

I agree he was the worst but where were the other branches to check his power?

Why did the electorate allow it?

In that time period you had quite a leftist swing in the nation. You had industrialization and some mega companies that were perceived to be screwing the population overall (much like today).

Also you had some developments in medical care like xrays. This caused quite a rise in medical care costs and things like insurance weren't really a thing.

Medicine was a cash proposition back then and it quickly got to be too expensive, which led a lot of people to look toward socialist approaches to take on these issues. Back then however, academia and professional organizations were not full of whack jobs - it was academia and bodies like the American Medical Association that launched campaigns to educate Americans on the disaster that would take place if socialist policies were adopted.

Thankfully medicine was not socialized, but the prevailing thought allowed morons like Wilson to do what they did. The increasing tech and costs of medicine would eventually lead to the 1965 Medicare Act which ramped up demand and thus prices, which set the course for the bad state of affairs in medicine today.

Your bullet-points all have merit. Wilson was a scoundrel. But if not Wilson, the Puppetmeisters would have simply imposed another knee-padded "President" patsy upon us.

Sure, Wilson was one more Ivy League Darwinian-Evo Prog; willing tool of 19th century Banksters; helped demolish the $ Currency; and a sneaky bureaucrat who illegally forced conscription of young men into WW1, the first major Bankster-MIC war the US obviously had NO business in bleeding and dying for.

However, by 1871 the London Crown / Prussian-backed Banksters already owned America, every Institution -- including the Media and both political parties. Presidents like Wilson and FDR were easy, gutless patsies.
