The American Protective League and The Palmer Raids (1919-1921): Under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, criticizing the government became a crime and a fascist organization, the American Protective League was formed to spy on and even arrest fellow Americans for being insufficiently loyal to the government. More than 100,000 Americans were arrested, with less than 1% of them ever being found guilty of any kind of crime.On the other hand, coming up with an equivalently damning list of epic fails for the Republicans shouldn't be very difficult, either. Neither party has the epic fail monopoly.
Can anyone imagine a list of “epic successes” for either party? I think it would be quite difficult to get 20 serious candidates for such a list...
