Hoover increased taxes, how did that era work out?
He was also a Progressive. But shhhh. He had an R next to his name. That's whats important.
I was actually unaware that he ran for President in 1920 as well. The Republicans wouldnt nominate him because it was very unclear whether he was a Republican or Democrat. Heck, a number of Democrat primaries wanted him on the Democrat ticket then.
History is an interesting thing. It can turn heroes to villians and Villians to heroes. Just depends on who is telling the story and what part of their life you are looking at.
