Like, him at the top is bullshit in of itself, and putting Jackson in the top is bullshit too. But, he put Grant in the shitbox. Grant: the man who literally won the Civil War for the Union. Fuck off with that!

*Edit: Linky

**Edit 2: Also, Hoover oversaw the start of the Great Depression. So, that wouldn’t make him average. Also, where’s JFK?

    I’m old enough to remember the moment when enough of the Greatest Generation had died so the GOP could start in on how FDR had been a failure.

    When the Greatest* were alive they’d talk your ear off about how FDR had saved the country and what a great leader he was.

    But the New Deal was way too Socialist to be allowed today.

    *Please don’t yammer about they weren’t ‘great’ because of the racism and sexism and imperialism. “Greatest Generation” is the commonly accepted term.
