Roosevelt demonized the Republicans all during the Depression. The party never could defend itself as being the friend of “big business” and rich fat cats. Republicans have been treated like second-class citizens by the left-wing media for years. They were never able to argue for the value of capitalism in the face of all the Democrat bromides. Their lack of spine has brought us a communist president.
FDR was a regular socialist and so was his ‘wife’. These people were ga ga about the ocialist thinkers of the time.
