      Herbert Hoover sucked ass too, they weren’t called Hoovervilles because he did such an amazing job of stewardship and not being a racist.

      What’s funny is how much accidental overlap there actually is between them. Principled my ass lmao.

        Perhaps principled wasn’t the best term I could have used. It was meant in terms of their philosophy of the role of government. There’s no question that Herbert Hoover prioritized that over helping people.

      Oh, dear god. You’re right. Ha. That’s actually a very apt comparison.

      I complain about J Edgar too much and forgot Herbert Hoover even existed, as I am sure history will forget about Biden.
