M. R. Graham: Hey, also notable for people inexplicably thinking he's responsible for the Hays Code!

The problem, as always, is that the U.S. system is uniquely bad among wealthy democracies.

The US uniquely never having to rebuild postwar has ironically fucked it because everyone else got to go "okay that's a fine constitution but what would be even better is..." and then did they actually did that

We almost had this with the reconstruction era. John Wilkes Booth really fucked things up.

Don't forget Rutherford B Hayes, the man whose only historical significance is that he ended reconstruction.
