I liked some of that which Teddy Roosevelt (TR) did. Some of it not so much.

We need to recognize that the GOP/Dems are a moving collective of people who are born and die and with them go the thoughts and traditions. What is R now was not R always. Same with Ds. Would TR be a "Humper" or not??
I think he'd be horrified by Trump as representing the worst inclinations of humanity. He was against pretty much everything the current Oval Office interloper is for - cronyism and criminality.

My solution is for everyone to simply talk about specific issues.

Is it a good idea for

  • the US to continue with an oil economy as even the oil producers embrace their sunlight?
  • us to want clean water and food
  • us to have pure and effective drugs
  • globalism to be our "god" and is everything that makes a company more money good for us?

TR and I would agree on many of these things I suspect. He was racist but not unduly so for his time. Had he been born in 1960 - he would probably had different opinions than he had and ones closer to what I hold now.
