You got to finish off the smaller bosses, level up before taking out the big bosses. Just like WoW.

We are living in the second guilded age.

TR was considered a traitor to his class, which I sure made him grin and whatnot
darkstarmc
To be fair, most people probably don't hear anti trust and think anti fat ass companies fucking them
captainfakeypants
#2 is Donald Trump. Seriously, anyone else would have been jailed 60 times over by now....

I had told my dad that if Teddy made a return for president, that trump and his cronies would go full on [redacted] and try to kill Teddy
LutraLazuli
My dad had to seriously think on why I told him that, and wouldn't talk to me for a few days

Teddy R was such a Chad that global capital got out of his way
MRnBW
Highly recommend reading Edmund Morris's biography series on Teddy. "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" is one of the best books I've read.
CGWN
I prefer the sequel, "Theodore Rex." Why they did a movie adaptation with Whoopi Goldberg, I will never know.

Sad that we are powerless to change things.

Don't forget to moisturize afterwards!

If Teddy Roosevelt had won the 1912 Republican nomination and then the Presidential election, WW1 would have been over in 1916 or '17.
Fasrill
Now there's a fascinating "what if" scenario. I wonder what other butterflies would've occurred because of an early US entry into WWI.
EllisHobbs
No Russian Revolution for one, since the war would have been over in this scenario before Lenin was sent from Germany.

What's a "cortelyou"?
poscduke
Secretary of Commerce and Labor and Secretary of the Treasury

I did not think that would have a result. lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_B._Cortelyou

And thats why teddy is my favorite president.

I scrolled down here hoping for this.

The political cartoons then were on point
TheMostKink
Always have been.
just4thelolz
They've never been funny (imo) but they've always been on point. At all times people have existed who knew which way the wind was blowing.
redpandabanana
They can be funny occasionally. But the majority aren’t
friendsofsandwiches
and not a fucking thing has changed.
Renza0
sure it has, the wealthy have vastly extended their political influence and control, while also vastly increasing the wealth gap.
FluffykinsTheDestroyer
It did, and then we let it fall apart.
Epinephilim
Hey, that's not accurate. Income inequality is worse than it's ever been.
Youhavinagiraffe
It did change a lot and then decades of propaganda, lobbying and complacency got us back to more or less where it started
raphaelambrosiuscosteau
It did change. The change was then walked back. All political battles against capital are infinite and must be re-won by each generation.
TheSpaceCroissant
Things went back to this cause the world got struck with amnesia. "hey, how about we don't regulate economy and put fascists to power?"
AuntieBeer
Well, technically they did and then corporate lobbies bought their politicians left and right
junkgoof
It changed somewhat and changed back over the last 42 years.
Itseemedreasonable
A lot changed, but since then that change has mostly been undone
GuitarBobMonterey
No, it started to get good. Then they invented Fox 'news'. We gotta outlaw all that TV lying again.
FartPoweredPogoStick
Of course things have changed. Now it's on a much broader scale.
jasonboison
Optics, all about optics. Hey look at me, I'm checking up the system
CityYeti
It did for a bit. But then it went to shit when Nixon and Reagan got in office
spiceass9000
It did in the 30’s. But then they reversed all the legislation that changed it starting in the 70’s and we have trickle down again now
AuntieCoddswaddle
Shit changed. But we got lazy and it broke down without maintenance. America has always sucked at occupation.
Mentok
They bought the newspapers this time around
ps238principal
Because they can buy the best laws for themselves.
mytruepersonality
and the best propaganda that tells the uneducated that being stepped on is the other parties fault

Class war > culture war
DivisionIsTheRootOfEvil
Oh, it changed. But then the USA decided to elect Ronald Reagan, mostly because Carter wore a sweater and wasn't an open racist.
friendsofsandwiches
and couldn't get the hostages back before the election.
LaffertyDanie1
Carter was in office for high inflation, energy crisis and Iran hostage crisis. Debatable what's his fault but hard to survive that.
walnutbreath
None of that was his fault. The inflation was from Nixon's breaking Bretton Woods. The energy crisis was a result of the Iranian revolution
walnutbreath
(which only happened because Eisenhower and Allen Dulles overthrew a democratically-elected leader with a coup). It was all Republicans'
walnutbreath
fault and Dems getting blamed for not fixing their mistakes fast enough. And Carter fixed inflation and then Reagan stole all the credit.
LaffertyDanie1
He was dealt a terrible hand it's just hard to survive all that right before an election
walnutbreath
The bigger problem was how fast America forgave Nixon and Ford.
