Tip of the iceburg. FDR, in effect, was in charge of a coup'd'etat that ended the US republic.

Today's 4-5% unemployed include high numbers of willingly unemployed and pure loosers. We have no idea what 15-17 % unemployment feels like.

There has been no coup. Just lot's and lot's more folks arriving everywhere. The world's most powerful country could wipe out billions of people if the leader could convince them it was worth it.

Freedom is something that humans have never had, like most of the US is in possession of now.

Your point is... what?

Of course there was a coup. FDR stacked the SCOTUS and did things that were previously completely out of bounds for the FedGov to touch.

The best thing we could do for this nation is to roll back that coup and stuff the FedGov back into a pre-New Deal size box.

Imagine a country with almost no armed federal agents. Imagine a country with almost no federal prisoners. Imagine a country where the states really shielded citizens from federal power. THAT would be a FREE country.
