I mean after Bill "Tallywhacker" Clinton and LB[n-word]J, where exactly are we drawing the line for this standard?

Please be specific with your answer.

Can we agree that it's difficult to compare people in different eras? If you could transplant 60s LBJ into today's world, he would be run out of politics. I don't know if his language was more accepted at the time, or if it was just less known among the public, but today he absolutely could not get away with it regardless if his policies seemed to be the exact opposite of his personal feelings.

Bill, I don't know. He's Slick Willie for multiple reasons. I guess people could relate to him.


But, to be clear and specific, assuming we know everything about these people, I wouldn't vote for LBJ, Bill, Trump, or Hef today. Maybe I'm weird for wanting the people who represent and lead us to treat everyone with respect?
