“He’ll go from revered to reviled in less than a generation”

I was born in the depression and he was reviled by my parents.

I was taught he was the worst president this country ever had before I was 2 years old.

On the other hand, my parents and grandparents and most others in the community worshipped FDR as some kind of minor deity and they all voted for RATs for years. He was a disaster with severe leftist ideas and policies.

Same here. My grandftaher, who died well before I was born, had been a Secret Service agent on the White House detail for the first Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson administrations. In 1932 he said "This country will rue the day that FDR was elected.”
