President Kennedy wanted to keep USA out of Vietnam

78. Look at foreign policy & domestic spying

Look at what he did there & look where we are now. I wonder how much of that was legitimate and how much of that was part of his famous politics strategy. He vehemently opposed Truman's civil rights proposes, infringing on states' rights by proposing federal anti-lynching laws & outlawing poll taxes. Kennedy chooses him to appeal to the white Southern conservatives & really trying to run the show or assert his power from the VP then starts pushing for progressive policies, including civil rights. Kennedy was worried about the South for reelection which is why he picked him for the initial election. The guy that was a major oppositional figure when Truman had a civil rights proposal claiming infringement on states with anti-lynching laws & poll tax prohibitions. He manages to pick in hindsight the perfect time to push it and for more of Truman's dreams, ending up forcing Kennedy to push for them since his VP already went public but LBJ acquired power during the peak of liberalism. After? He had the FBI spy on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and other left of center activist groups -- Operation CHAOS, same thing as COINTELPRO just with a different name but CHAOS had Bush Sr fingerprints on it.

"Johnson's ambition was uncommon—in the degree to which it was unencumbered by even the slightest excess weight of ideology, of philosophy, of principles, of beliefs. - the author of his biography
