In reading history didn’t FDR try that? Wasn’t he heading for being a dictator. Even to the point of adding two more judges to the Supreme Court (from 7 to 9) hoping he’d get his legislation passed?
You are correct. FDR and his fascist buddies pushed for exactly the same thing. They wanted to throw out the Constitution and establish a “benevolent” democratic dictatorship. They almost achieved that goal by way of WWII during which they controlled almost every aspect of every citizens life down to what they could eat, what they could wear and even how womens stockings were designed. One of the reasons this was somewhat prevented was that FDR and one of his chief advisors, Harry Hopkins, died.
History is repeating itself.
