I guess, if that’s your opinion. I can’t say I fully agree. I’m a huge fan of LBJ personally, despite him flubbing the Vietnam war. He cared deeply for educating the impoverished and racial minorities. He passed dozens of environmental laws. He also was responsible for a bunch of the beautification initiatives, which resulted in planting tons of trees. He was responsible for creating a ton of national parks. He even knew he fucked up the Vietnam war, and he decided he wasn’t going to run for another term because of the decisions he made related to it. It’s my opinion that he felt he didn’t deserve the presidency anymore after making poor choices regarding Vietnam. Whatever the reason he had, it shows great emotional intelligence. And honestly, it makes me sad, because I feel like with 4 more years, he could have done so much more good for civil rights and the environment.

I also am a bit biased because I live in the city that he was from, so I get to enjoy the fruits of his and his wife’s labor. All the trees they planted here are all grown and are gorgeous. I love how many parks we have here and how big they all are. And I can thank them for putting in the work, even though they knew they would not be the ones to benefit from it. It would be the future generations that would benefit.
