Exactly. He pretended to be corrupt and then once they helped him win, he began to let his brother prosecute them all.

So he was an illegitimate President. Therefore not even technically a President. Either way LBJ probably had mob connections as well being the Majority Leader in the Senate

GDP is only one metric of economics, in other metrics of economics, they fail. Average disposable income becomes lower than ever, the longer it has been since a Democrat was in power. This is because Democrats tax more progressively and use the tax money far more efficiently for things that actually help those in the nation that need it, rather than putting the funding into the military because they've pissed off every nation on the planet except for Saudi Arabia.

Democrats operate like antiheroes, Republicans operate like villains, if not supervillains. Agree or disagree?

Heavily Disagree. Establishment puppets on both sides act like supervillains.

Yet if you adjust for Federal dollars, red stated do better economically, and this is proven by voter flight away from blue states to red.

Average disposable income becomes lower than ever, the longer it has been since a Democrat was in power. This is because Democrats tax more progressively and use the tax money far more efficiently for things that actually help those in the nation that need it,
You have forgotten that it is Congress that decides tax law, Democrats take from the people that make an income, and give it to people that mooch off the government. So wealth generators stop producing under democratic congresses. It's called the socialist paradox.

...rather than putting the funding into the military because they've pissed off every nation on the planet except for Saudi Arabia.
This silly liberal talking point about America is looked down upon by most other countries is just liberal gaslighting. I travel the world, and everywhere I go, the American embassy is choked with people wanting to come here. Our programs and movies and culture is popular all over the world. What liberals mean is that America is hated by leftist European governments who are bummed that Trump stopped their gravy train.

Liberals tend to project their own "I hate America" bias onto the world. The only places the American flag is burned are in Islamic countries and American leftist antifa mob demonstrations.

Leftists do not hate America, you are correct that those that hate America tend to actually be right-wing and the only examples of violent insurrection in America, both very recently and in the past, has been done by right-wing-sided Anarchists as well as international hatred from right-wing Sharia nations.

Leftists wish America would join the rest of the highly developed world and be a social democracy rather than moving towards Fascism. It is the right-wing who despise America and declare it needs to be made 'great again' because they are sick of its shift towards caring for the poor and vulnerable.

Sure they do. From Micheal Obama's comment about never being proud of America to Antifa chanting "death to America", Liberals hate America.

...you are correct that those that hate America tend to actually be right-wing
Was I correct too that the moon is made of green cheese?

and the only examples of violent insurrection in America, both very recently and in the past, has been done by right-wing-sided Anarchists as well as international hatred from right-wing Sharia nations.
Lol. The only examples of violent insurrection in America is in your TDS swamped mind.

Leftists wish America would join the rest of the highly developed world and be a social democracy
Leftist want America to be socialist and part of some global village.

...rather than moving towards Fascism.
Did you see antifa burning and looting businesses and assaulting peaceful citizens? That was fascism.

It is the right-wing who despise America and declare it needs to be made 'great again' because they are sick of its shift towards caring for the poor and vulnerable.
Yet it is the leftists who chant "death to America" as they March to be able to murder American children in the womb. You need to be introduced to reality.

Well....Challenging a brick wall is always tough.

But eventually it just falls down.....Revealing the void behind.

A tough question for any politician.

Straight answers aren't the name of the game in politics.

Trumps favourite colour might actually be blue.....And Biden's red.

So Biden would say purplish, and Trump would say colour is fake news you lightweight.

For sure....MSM tells you what they want to tell you.

Though that's not the same as asking a direct question and getting a direct response.

No matter how indirect the direct response might be.

The Sharia nations are right wing.
Isn't it curious then that they become Democrats when they immigrate here?

Actually that is anarchy.
It was both.

The question [legitimacy, itself, is not a foregone conclusion] really must point to whether the nation's people are more corrupt than their elected leaders, because we have 32 fewer years of Republican presidents in history than Democrat Presidents, yet I'd say the corruption of Presidents is about the same. Stones can be thrown at both camps.  After all, there have been 4 attempts at impeachment of presidents [including Nixon, who surely would have been impeached had he not resigned, and the wheels of impeachment in his case were already in motion], and, party-wise, they are split 2-2. I'd say impeachment is the highest indicator of corruption.
On the other hand, as no president has ever been convicted, and, depending on whether accusations, alone, yield a corrupt president, there may be no corruption at all that is proven.

At least you can rely on Biden to stop this corruption in his first week. (not)
