Ross Perot wasn’t a social liberal. He said he’d cordon off sections of cities and search house-to-house for drugs, then give everyone in possession long sentences (even for marijuana). He wanted to increase police’s ability to do warrantless searches and wiretaps. He claimed to not want to hire drinkers.
He was moderately authoritarian socially even for his time. Thankfully, he didn’t win, and I’m certainly not mourning him.
