I wonder what the polls were like about 'compromise' back in the days of World War 2?

Actually, there was a whole lot of politics going on during WWII.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered a used copy for $2.

Of course there was politics going on during WW2—that wasn’t my point. My point was that the Voices of Reason at the time were calling anyone who wasn’t 100% for kicking Nazi butt an “America Firster” and a fascist or dictator-coddler. The mushy middle and the left weren’t wringing their hands saying, “Oh, we must compromise!” like they are now.
