Are you familiar with the 1933 Business Plot? I think it got swept under the rug, and the cockroaches scurried back into the shadow, regrouped, and were just on election away from dealing us a death blow.
Well, no, not exactly.
I had heard about talk of stopping FDR. Even in my own family when he ran for the 3rd term, they revolted against him locally. We were not a political family. But were respected locally.
On your suggestion, I found this:
“Smedley Butler and the Business Plot”

I’m not sure the article is correct, but sounded reasonable.
