You’re so stupid: A THREAD

In the congressional vote for women’s suffrage, more republicans voted Yay than Dems, with Southern Dems forming the most bitter opposition. Western states and GOP dominated states had the most expansive women’s voting rights pre ratification. https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1296939966744780801
Wilson signed it into law, sure. He also resegregated the federal workforce, premiered KKK propaganda in the White House, said the Klan was the salvation of the white south, and was a scientific racist. https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1296939968288317442
The New Deal did not help get us out of the depression. This is an ahistorical myth that was refuted by FDR’s own treasury secretary, who stated they spending and taxation did nothing to alleviate the economic situation. Unemployment remained sky high until the war. https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1296939969232085002
As for SS, the average age of death was lower than the age you’d start receiving benefits at the time of its passage. It has since become one of the driving forces of our debt and is on the road to insolvency. Not to mention the government steals money from the poor to pay for it
President Roosevelt also forced people to burn their crops and kill their animals in a starvation period, arrested people for buying and selling chicken at a price he deemed wrong, and used the minimum wage as a weapon against black workers in the south, pricing them out of work https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1296939970372857856
Democrats didn’t defeat Nazism, the American and British militaries did. Roosevelt denied Jewish refugees from Europe entry to the country. Most later died in the Holocaust. Roosevelt worked with Stalin and was very deferential to him in the maintenance of the iron curtain. https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1296939971291439104
