It was succ compared to the New Deal or the Great Society but still far more imaginative than anything libs would propose today.

The Fair Deal was p good and the first serious attempt to implement Universal Healthcare. Unfortunately Congress was in GOP hands, so Truman couldn't do much. At least he vetoed Taft Hartley.

Truman was raised by insane neoconfederate racists and his wife Bess was a virulent antisemite. He never truly overcame his own bigotry but he at least grew enough to make civil rights a Democratic Party plank and made the Dixiecrats revolt. Like LBJ he embodied the duality of the Democratic Party of his era, for both good and ill.
