I say we repeal every amendment, ACT and bill passed into law, in the early 1900's, especially those of the Wilson years.

As is usual whenever someone comments about wanting to undo the excesses of liberalism, somebody comes along and makes it about civil rights. It was blatantly obvious that the OP was referring to overreaching government.

I'm not sure whether it's intentional misrepresentation to demonize conservatives or whether it is ignorance brought on by the gullible actually believing the Progressives' garbage rhetoric about them being the only thing standing between society and a return to Jim Crow.

Here's a free clue for you: you can actually separate the baby from the bath water. You can throw one out without the other. Returning control of the Senate to the state legislatures could be done without returning to segregation. Returning to the equal apportioning of taxation could be done without making women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

He advocated undoing EVERYTHING Wilson did, not weeding out excesses.

What are you talking about? We could afford those things, if government didn't bankrupt us.

...every amendment during the Wilson years?

How many amendments to the Constitution were made in the Wilson years....
Yes, even the 19th amendment. All that was needed, was to clarify, man, meant human. Not to define them as two different types of PEOPLE.
