I note they make a comparison with Huey Long by noting that he was an opportunist. In that vein they note that Huey drove FDR to become more liberal. Are they kidding me or what. Huey was an opportunist for sure, in that he noted the ball game being played by the uniparty in La post WW I. He managed to get the people to vote for him and oust the crooks and influence peddlers, mostly for the state utility, out of Baton Rouge (he replaced them with his crooks). FDR was only afraid of him politically because he was a bigger populist then he (perhaps Eleanor) was. In any event, I’d rather have my populist in the white house than some continuation of the uniparty we have there now.
IMO, these jerks would have been wise to back Trump (or Cruz) both of whom they detest over the Dems. If they manage with their BS in splitting their “party” they are the ones who will be getting no party favors and worse with a Dem or another RINO in the white house, conservatives are going to lose and the Country can mail it in.
I can understand the sentiment but IMO Huey P didn’t force anything on FDR. If anything Huey was the mold for the Movie about politicians (O Brother, Where art thou?”)
This man (FDR) was a silver spoon elitist that worked tirelessly to hide his infirmity from the American people and interject his personal guilt and failings on this country. We are fortunate that our industriousness and resolve during WWII out performed him.
IMO, FDR’s impact will be everlasting in the form of Social Security and I don’t think it will ever be erased.
Your post is filled with truth, and it find it sadly sobering. What are these dolts thinking?? What can they possibly gain from sinking our country, because this over the top hate train, is going to hurt them deeply.
