TR, and most of their other heroes from US History, are not the real historical persons as much as cartoon characters who take on the role.northland10 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 3:07 pm The irony is many of these folks, especially Trump, tend to idolize Teddy Roosevelt, yet TR's actions and policies are almost completely opposite of the MAGA.
Being something of a Civil War fan but very much not a fan of Robert E. Lee, I have on several occasions had the "Lee didn't like slavery and was kind to the slaves he came in contact with etc..." which is far, far from reality. In fact, though Lee never owned slaves, his wife did and he was known to have beat more than one of them nearly to death when they tried to escape. But you can't tell "Lost Cause Losers" that.
