I don't get why anyone who identify as liberals or as leftist would identify with Wilsonian Progressivism. Let's look at his legacy:

1. Intervention in the First World War.

2. The Espionage and Sedition Acts.

3. Militant support for segregation.

4. The First Red Scare.

I think Naomi Wolf's new column shows how these are playing out today:

It is disappointing to see the comments, where some are turning to knee-jerk defense of Wilson and Wilsonian Progressivism.
