I remember watching this speech as an 18 year old senior in high school. It's easy to say now, but I kind of thought President Johnson would withdraw from the race. I listened to entire speech waiting for those words. I still was shocked when I actually heard them. I thought this largely because I sensed he was in poor health and he had been demonized so much. On January 20, 1969, when President Johnson left office, he looked, at least to me, to be the happiest man in the world, since he was finally done with the war. He died January 22, 1973, just two days after his next term would have ended. I think he likely would have passed much sooner if he had run, maybe not even surviving 1968 campaign. We'll never know.

What the hell are you talking about. LBJ was the reason the civil rights acts were past. Nobody fought harder, and he didn't give up tell it was passed. LBJ was working on ending the war in Vietnam, then the crook Nixon went behind his back and told them not to make a deal until after the election, lol. That sounds familiar, kind of like something Trump the other crook would do. Then Nixon didn't end the war as he promised he expanded the war.

⁠​⁠@@electrified7309You’re so wrong! Johnson was an evil narcissistic sociopathic bigot, the only reason he signed the civil rights act was for political gain & purposes only, he was a worthless piece of trash, killer & a war criminal. Truly an awful person & an awful president.

so his civil rights act did nothing for the black community?

@Huesername Yes. It provided guarantees that were already in the U.S. Constitution (14th and 15th Amendments) with specific Articles based on the current issues and a changing society taking place in the 1960s. For example, Article VI was written to protect people within the parameters of a college campus. No one can create an environment that prevents students from entering a college campus based on race, ethnicity, or creed. I never thought I'd see clear violations of Article VI in 2024. The issues that stem from the Civil Rights Act have been all the lawyering, lawsuits, and precedents set over 60 years that changed its original intention. For example, Title VIII prohibits discrimination (renting or selling) based on race, ethnicity, or creed. 60 years later their have been so many lawsuits and precedents set based on Article VIII that a landlord can't do the following when renting their private property: 1) Can't deny an applicant based on their criminal history 2) Depending on the state, can't deny an applicant based on their credit score 3) Can't ask the applicant(s) about familial status. You can only stress that the only residents who can reside in the domicile full-time are those on the lease. 4) Depending on the state, squatters can possess your private property and can legally stay there after 30 days. 5) Depending on the state, if a tenant stops paying rent while living in your private property, it can take up to 18 to 24 months to have them legally removed. Fortunately, in Florida, it only takes 4 weeks. The sheriff's department will arrest tenants who refuse to leave the domicile. There are many other examples based on the bigotry of low expectations. The Civil Rights Act was designed to provide an environment and/or options, holding EVERYONE to the same standard and expectations regardless of their race, ethnicity, or creed. The Dexter Reed shooting is an example of 60 years of lawyers diluting the Civil Rights Act. "It was a pretextual traffic stop." Since the police pulled over someone because of a seat belt violation and it happens to be a black male, created the situation for Dexter Reed to open fire 11 times at the police. This is also an example of the bigotry of low expectations. Today, many base the fairness of the rule of law on a person's position on the intersectionallity victim scale. This is a marxist ideology that has spread throughout the country, especially within our colleges & universities, and legacy media. This all stems from the social revolution of the 1960s. I believe if Jack, Malcolm, MLK, and Bobby had lived, it would have been a more organic social transition of classic liberalism instead of progressive-leftism, which has morphed into socialist-marxism. America needed strong leaders to get us through a difficult transition. I believe the timeline today would be a better society than the alternative once created from the killing of 4 great men.

@Huesername Yes, in its original language and intention. However, over the past 6 decades, all the lawyering, precedents, and lawsuits have created an environment for the bigotry of low expectations. There's nothing worse than a Civil Rights Attorney to distort the Civil Rights Act. For example, the Dexter Reed shooting. Somehow, his Civil Rights were violated because it was a "pretextual traffic stop." Therefore, it widens the parameters and creates a justification as to why he opened fired 11 times at the police. Civil Rights has transitioned to an intersectionallity scale of which race is higher on the victim list. I've always wondered what the timeline would be today if Jack, Malcolm, MLK, and Bobby had lived. The transition of our 1960s social revolution would have set a better foundation for the future with great leaders. It's as though we never fully recovered for the loss of these men. I never imagined that we'd have clear violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act in 2024 on our college campuses.

And Hoover was a cross dresser in the closet

LBJ thought this was too horrible for public release.

The Johnson administration actually came very close to publicly disclosing it with the knowledge that it would allow the Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey to win the presidential election. Johnson’s NSA Walt Rostow persuaded him not to, and later admitted that he felt personally responsible for the Nixon administration’s later abuses of power culminating with Watergate. Rostow felt the lack of consequences for the Nixon administration’s interference in the Vietnam peace talks emboldened them to break the rules further and further, leading to Watergate and many other less publicised scandals.

NIXON SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH TREASON HOW MANY MORE KIDS DIED AS A RESULT OF CRIMNAL NIXON

There is no evidence Nixon tried to interfere in the proposed peace talks.

Truman didn't really run in 1952 since he dropped out after a bad result in the Democratic New Hampshire primary. But yeah, your point that neither of them had a chance in those 2 elections is true. They would have struggled to even get the party nominations. Two costly wars against communism in Asia put an end to each of their ambitions.

@@Daniel-od6ft Except LBJ won the NH primary without being on the ballot. "Always in motion is the future"...and our reading of the What If moments

@@Daniel-od6ft Difference is one ended up with a decent result, the other a colossal failure. I will always defend America's involvement in the Korean War, but Vietnam was a mistake for us to ever enter.

Just saying, Truman in 1952 actually had even lower polling than Johnson in 1968. While Truman became very well-remembered later on, he was actually really unpopular for most of his presidency. In contrast, LBJ was still pretty well-regarded despite the Vietnam War in 1968 (and probably still could have even won the election if he were nominated) but his post-presidential reputation has plummeted.

Does anyone know why Nixon won by such a large margin in '68? The country was in the middle of a social revolution. Did Democrat voters simply give up after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy in June of '68? I'm assuming that Bobby Kennedy would have defeated Nixon. Maybe that's not the case.

Max Hastings met him as journalists and said he was struck by the awesome vulnerability of the man.

Exactly besides jfk , and Eisenhower kept escalating the situation in Vietnam it was bound to happen

Is that even possible?

Yeah, he signed into law the pivotal civil rights legislation of the '60s and the law establishing Medicare and Medicaid. I think those are some pretty incredible accomplishments and he might not get enough credit for them. Vietnam was obviously a colossal disaster but didn't negate all the good he did.

Johnson was shady but was a tough SOB that did let Republicans push him around. Johnson and Nixon had similar personalities .

I don't think ANY president could have resisted civil rights by 1964. It was equality or race war the way things were going. LBJ was apparently terrified that a race war was going to happen EVEN AFTER the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were signed. Too many blacks were still red hot furious, Dr. King, Roy Wilkins and moderates were losing control of the youth, and guys like George Wallace were still causing hell in the south and other places. TBH, Kennedy doesn't get NEAR enough heat for his frankly DISASTROUS lack of action on civil rights before 1963 (apart from stuff like more school integrations). He waited TWO WHOLE YEARS before proposing a major civil rights bill or taking much bigger action, during which time the black community lost more and more faith in American democracy. Even Eisenhower despite his flawed approach to civil rights in the 50s signed two federal laws (the first since Reconstruction), started a full Civil Rights Commission to investigate the full extent of discrimination, and worked to desegregate Washington DC plus a number of public schools as directed by the Supreme Court. Ike at very least had it all set up for JFK to quickly take over in 1961 and accelerate the needed policies...and Kennedy largely dropped the baton. At least he FINALLY took a stronger stance, but the damage was done, and LBJ along with pro-civil rights members of Congress in both parties had to scramble before everything fell apart or exploded.

The decision was widely expected.

Yeah Kennedy, Clinton both did the dirty stuff with women who are not their wife.

Actually, LBJ was an incredibly capable legislator and president. I disagree with much of what he did, but he did it with skill. In contrast JFK was inexperienced.

Much of his time in as president was consumed filling his addiction to random sex with assorted women. Only years later did we discover what a mess he was.

The reason why South Vietnam collapsed when it did was because Congress refused to authorize further military aid for South Vietnam during North Vietnam/Viet Cong's final offensive in 1974-75 (much less another military intervention). Granted, that was more because the public was exhausted by the war than from a change of heart, but the US kind of gave up on South Vietnam (aside from some ineffective foreign aid) for the last several years of the war.@@MarkHarrison733

Unrelated but @aquaatia I like your pfp it’s very chill and cute 🥰

Eh, I have some doubts. LBJ's "War on Poverty", while it had a few successful areas (such as improving access to education), ultimately didn't work in many ways (much to the frustration of federal officials and inner city folks). The problem is that I don't know if LBJ and his people really understood how communities are developed and grow economically. Their idea and desired solution was to set up a bunch of welfare programs and then throw federal money nonstop at these communities until they were "jump-started". This sounds great on the surface, but the problem is that alone will NOT build a local economy or livelihoods. You have to develop the community by giving it economic drives such as major employment and/or a bunch of small businesses that drive revenue and more liveable wages. Otherwise, the community will be permanently stuck on the crutch of welfare or worse, gradually fall apart (the latter is what happened to an artificially created town in West Virginia that Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt built in their own effort to fight poverty federally, much to their dismay). At the end of the day, LBJ's anti-poverty programs were too often an insufficient "patch" on a cracking and leaking dam that today is getting worse than ever.
