“...So many forget that FDR wanted to make the Democrats a bonafide Socialist party by his 2nd term, ...”
It’s not so much “forget” as it is NEVER BEEN TAUGHT. FDR is a Saint according to the Marxist rewrite of our history.
And the folks who were around back then and stopped him and that party are all gone now. So are the WWII vets who knew what that ideology really was.
So it’s up to us, either the easy way or the Hard Way.
I believe FDR managed to get more and more card-carrying Socialists to join the Democrat Party camp by co-opting their agenda during his presidency.
Look at Norman Thomas’s (the Socialist Party’s perennial nominee for President) numbers over FDR’s four elections — Thomas had over 800,000 votes and nearly 3% of the vote overall in 1932, but was down to a minuscule 0.16% by 1944.
What really irks me is the useful idiots on “our side” (most of them neo-confederate swine) who repeat the myth about how “a few decades ago, the Republicans were the liberal party in this country” and “the Democrats were the conservative party back then” and “the two parties switched sides in the 60s and 70s”
