LBJ didn’t have to resort to tough guy tropes and ritualized masculinity displays to convince people he had the biggest dick in the room.

    I mean he literally whipped it out in front of journalists and diplomats as a ritualistic display. Let’s not gloss over the shitty aspects of former presidents just to compare them to this president full of shitty aspects.

    I don’t disagree with you in any way, however, I would pay more money than I’m willing to admit to watch a literal presidential dick measuring contest. I think we all know who would likely place last, but even if he didn’t, I would enjoy his reaction to losing for the rest of my days with great relish because he couldn’t possibly be first and that’s he would care about.

    And I’m pretty much only able to confidently hope this because we all know that apparently LBJ had a hog, and I appreciates that about him, even though yeah fuck him for the war crimes.
