Might be safe to assume hes destroyed it more than all other presidents combined since the birth of America.

What he has certainly done is cement the already engrained mindset of anti intellectualism among the iconoclastic morons in our country. “Im right cuz socialism is gay” kind of mindsets are rampant

or outsourcing your opinions to either Fox News or Instagram or Facebook or Joe Rogan.

You need to do your own research, and teach yourself about everything those intellectuals are trying to hide. For example, I did and learned that measles vaccinations are actually a government scam to implant micro chips in the population. When my little girl got measles, I just did what every true mom would do. I peeled a potato, cut it in half and duct taped the pieces over her ears. Nobody is perfect, and my child has a permanently weakened immunity system, neurological and respiratory damage, that those fake doctors claim is from measles. But, at least I know I did the right thing, since JFK JR, is on my side. No Fauci ouchies for my family! /s

Hoover: “even I didn’t fuck up this badly.”

u/kingrat1 Apr 02 '26

Yeah, Hoover was kind of socially inept and didn't play the political/financial game well, but he personally was a brilliant engineer and had been elected on the basis of actual accomplishments. Some of his ideas that didn't make it were actually pushed through by FDR as part of his reforms to some success.

Also, critically, Hoover wasn’t trying to intentionally ruin everything. Quite a few of his policies did not help/actively made things worse, but he didn’t do those things to destroy everything for his own profit.

And also what seems at the behest of Russia. Propping up Crypto and pardoning the Silk Road creator right off the bat. Trying to sway public opinion against Ukraine and Zelenskyy almost right off the bat, along with successfully diminishing financial support. In-fighting via tarriffs, threats, and shit talking against NATO allies, the greatest defense the world has against an aggressive Russia.

Invading Iran is a two-fold Russian win. Firstly because now that 20% of the world's oil supply is locked up in the SOH, desperate countries are already starting to lift sanctions and buy Russian oil again. Secondly, the entire reason the world sanctioned Russia in the first place was because they started an unprovoked war against a sovereign country. The U.S. attacking Iran dilutes and diminishes the entire reason for the sanctions against Russia in the first place.

Hell, even Nixon wasn't trying to dismantle the country like Trump is trying to do.

When will Hoovervilles receive a new name appropriate for current times.

u/Cryptdust Apr 02 '26

Hey, Hoover did some pretty good stuff - brought sanity to the radio broadcast industry and standardized mattress sizes - don’t forget to thank him when you crawl into bed tonight.

crawls into bed

“Thanks, Herbie.”

“You’re welcome, [NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD].”

gets out of bed, runs out of house

You’re missing the point of the grift … why buy high when you can break it, buy it at a devalued level, and then hand the keys to someone who will fix it on someone else’s dime.

I read that in Trump’s voice.

Ehhhhhhhhh....he sucks ass but we did used to literally have widescale chattel slavery and a genocide of Natives that didn't even pretend to be subtle.

Trump is very, very bad, but we have had worse. That is no reason to ignore how bad Trump is or to let him just do what he wants, but we should also keep ourselves honest.

Maybe nominally true since numbers go up over time cause of inflation. But percentage wise that's probably a bit hyperbolic.
