    Herbert Hoover sucked ass too, they weren’t called Hoovervilles because he did such an amazing job of stewardship and not being a racist.

    What’s funny is how much accidental overlap there actually is between them. Principled my ass lmao.

      Perhaps principled wasn’t the best term I could have used. It was meant in terms of their philosophy of the role of government. There’s no question that Herbert Hoover prioritized that over helping people.
