Listening to Behind the Bastards, I've learned that there is a direct line between Trump and the alt-right to Nixon, with a very heavy rest stop at Reagan.
Almost every shitty thing you can think of has its roots in Reagan.
Goes back to Wilson at least. Probably could argue that Jackson and Polk didn't really help things.
Fuck Wilson. Among other things he has done in his life, the first movie shown in the white house was birth of a nation kkk propaganda.
That's just one of the lesser evils he committed IMHO. He used the office of the presidency to re-found the KKK, segregate the federal government, and erect a ton of statues of traitors
