btw - I remember when he died. There really was much admiration for the man at that time - as far as I could tell as a child. At least I never heard it, but politics in general was not talked about much then - at certainly not with youngsters in attendance.

And there was no 24hr news cycle.

Of course there was. Press sycophancy for Biden has absolutely nothing on court jesters that wouldn’t even let the world know the man was wheelchair bound.

He was far too deferential (even sympathetic) to Stalin, he summarily imprisoned Japanese-Americans for being Japanese-Americans, never brought Truman inside the tent on the most critical issues even as he knew he was dying,…

Need I go on?

He was a towering figure. It helps when there’s literally zero contemporary accountability.
