Depending on how the next four years go I’m on the fence between Bush Jr. and
Trump but I’d like to hear from you Edit: Top 10 suggestions so far (unordered):
+ Andrew Jackson + Andrew Johnson + George W. Bush Jr + Ronald Reagan + Richard
Nixon + James K. Polk + Woodrow Wilson + James Buchanan + Franklin Pierce +
Donald J. Trump
Spicy take: Roosevelt (and the New Deal Democrats), for successfully suppressing leftism in America. I'm like half convinced that if the CCC never existed we'd be commies by now.
The US government implemented a partially planned economy to recover from the great depression. Massive jobs programs like the CCC are one of a number of ways that they were willing to actually help alleviate the material conditions of the average American. I don't know if a revolution would've occured under a Republican government, but it definitely couldn't happen under Roosevelt.
Things usually have to get really bad for popular revolutions to actually take hold. Like, "my family is starving to death" tier. Whether that revolution is communist is more difficult, but poor conditions are the baseline for any revolution (IMO).
