Truth is history only happened one way, so we cannot know if we would have been better off without FDR.

Because when a country is at war everyone is like “we need to be united and patriotic”

We only know that we disapprove of his BS

FRD did get his two last as they was in a middle of a huge war and you dont rock the boat when you are in a war

FDR introduced the concept of 'scientific governance'

Yeah Republicans were mostly cowed by patriotism.

He goverened by hired 'intellectuals' instead of actual governing

The option of entirely postponing the elections was considered afterall.

FDR was an America fascist.

And I'm not being hyperbolic.

People would have supported it

A country at war runs on different rules

I think you can argue that some fascism os useful though. Regulating it is nigh impossible though. @Fitzydog

@EnderOctanus If you want to maintain the juggernaut that you know as America today, with international intervention and imperialism, surr

But i don't want that

Fascist? I think you might have to be careful with the definition of that word.

Was there any racism due to him?

No, I mean one that accelerates its rise as a superpower to combat Communism.

@Vlad The Impaler That's why I said I was not being hyperbolic

I mean it literally

.-. I think you mean to choose the word nationalist, a person who is a patriot or devoted to their country *above* others.

Fascism isn’t necessarily racist

If America didn't rocket into 1st place on the global stage after WWII, the world wouod have been totally fucked.

@Vlad The Impaler No, I mean fascist.

I'm a nationalist.

well FDR did refuse to help jews until it was to late and he did set up interment camps for the Asians

You’re falling into the political buzzword hole @Vlad The Impaler

Sooo, you approve your country above others?

Yes

I see.

Yes

@Vlad The Impaler Of course? You don't ?

"We can't trust these dirty japs they bombed our ships!"

I live there

@Vlad The Impaler fascism isn't inherently racist, the fascist government added anti Jew laws years after getting power from pressures from hitler

"Hnghnghng okay they can form a division two years down the line"

Of course I want mine to do best

Nah, I don’t really like my country, why else would someone like Pakistan?

Oof

>Japcentric division becomes the most honored division of the U.S. Army, period

Fascism is nationalist but also authoritarian

You can be nationalist on other issues
