People say that Trump lead the first coup attempt in DC, but what about the time they jailed one side in the presidential race for being against war?

WWI was like a sacred project, so the conservatives jailed Eugene Debbs-. Wasn't that a coup? A successful one?

Woodrow Wilson was President during WWI-- hardly a "conservative." Try again.

And Trump led an unarmed "coup attempt?" 馃ぃ 0 for 2

One more strike and you're out.

@DCarey war was the important thing uniting anyone to the right of socialists.

@Roundandroundwego Go back and learn a little history.

@Roundandroundwego Wilson won the 1916 election with the slogan "He kept us out of war."

@DCarey exactly. He lied to the anti war public, because he was a conservative liar.

@DCarey on the issue of war, most american people refuse to admit there is a Left.

@Roundandroundwego Not that I owe you an explanation (I don't), but I opposed both Iraq wars, Afghanistan after Bush extended it after he let bin laden escape from Tora Bora, and from an historical standpoint, Vietnam, Spanish-American, Mexican, war of 1812. I oppose any American involvement in the current European conflict. And I am as conservative as it gets.

@DCarey the public was betrayed, they voted against joining the war in WWI. The anti war public might as well self immolate, now.

@Roundandroundwego I agree, Wilson lied to get re-elected, but don't be disingenuous and call him a conservative. He was the most progressive president to that point in US history.

@DCarey no socialist generation was put to death in trenches in europe. Wilson was moderate. Nothing hurt. Nobody was harmed....we were simply erased, so you can have this,!
