That's terrifying. I always thought he was a rancher for some reason.

You missed wealthy who cry like babies. You missed Southerners and miners who weep about who they think they are cheated by the Liberal north. Trump is the biggest griper in the world. Complaining about how you are not getting a fair shake is the human condition. But Trump wins the griping contest.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
There was a heart in there. He taught mixed race classes in Texas and was determined that black people deserved all the rights of white people. He did sign off on Civil Rights.
That's the thing about politics and power. People with a good heart can be corrupted.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

He was almost as crude and boorish as the Toadstool, and nearly as racist too.

An interesting take. I heard for years how against the Civil Rights Act he was. I believe he also predicted that if it passed the (D)s would lose the South forever.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
As with so many things there is no simple answer to explaining that complex mindset.
The Great Society, the next biggest expansion of the safety net and government assistance programs to The New Deal, was all LBJ's idea.

"In 1926, Johnson managed to enroll at SWTSTC (now Texas State University). He worked his way through school, participated in debate and campus politics, and edited the school newspaper, The College Star.[21] The college years refined his skills of persuasion and political organization. For nine months, from 1928 to 1929, Johnson paused his studies to teach Mexican–American children at the segregated Welhausen School in Cotulla, some 90 miles (140 km) south of San Antonio in La Salle County. The job helped him to save money to complete his education and he graduated in 1930. He briefly taught at Pearsall High School before taking a position as teacher of public speaking at Sam Houston High School in Houston.
When he returned to San Marcos in 1965, after signing the Higher Education Act of 1965, Johnson reminisced:
" I shall never forget the faces of the boys and the girls in that little Welhausen Mexican School, and I remember even yet the pain of realizing and knowing then that college was closed to practically every one of those children because they were too poor. And I think it was then that I made up my mind that this nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American." "
