Yeah, that makes sense. FWIW, I actually wouldn't mind a more honest discussion on some of these things. FWIW, in the past, some trans people, especially non-binary ones such as aspiring eunuchs, had trouble getting surgery in a safe, medical setting and were thus compelled to seek surgery in...

Was Huey Long also an isolationist in addition to him being pro-working class? And Yeah, I find it interesting just how much sex, gender, trans, religious, and racial fetishism there is among today's leftists relative to class fetishism. "Oh, you're a working-class white person? You're...

Do you believe that without World War II, there's be soak-the-rich and Occupy Wall Street movements decades earlier than in real life? BTW, I always found it interesting how the elites switched to Wokeness right after Occupy Wall Street started becoming a threat to them:

What would have been a more useful investment here? Because there was a huge demand for US military support in Western Europe in the post-WWII years and decades, no?

The military-industrial complex has also helped with stimulus spending, no? Not merely the wars, but also stationing a lot of US troops overseas and constantly spending a lot of money on that.

You know my own thoughts on this: The New Deal would not have failed had Keynesian stimulus spending not been stopped prematurely. They should have waited until unemployment reached normal levels and only then engaged in austerity.

You might very well be correct. I do suspect that he would have retired in 1941 had WWII not broken out by then, though.

That was all after the Fall of France, though; remove that, and there's no guarantee that you'll actually get the same outcome.

Seems like a risky posture since FDR's term was going to end in early 1941 and without the 1940 Fall of France, I'm not sure that he can actually get re-nominated for a third term in 1940.

The US did not ratify the Versailles Treaty in real life; it made separate peace deals with the former CP powers in 1921, IIRC. And Yes, there is a possibility that public outrage could kill the idea of a peacetime Franco-Anglo-American alliance right after the end of World War I. AFAIK, the...

If so, then this would show just how crucial FDR's survival actually was. The US botched it after WWI by refusing to ratify a peacetime alliance treaty with Britain and France due to Wilson's stupidity, but FDR made up for it by his subsequent conduct in WWII. A different US President, and...

Was Garner's dislike of the Japanese due to him being a (racist?) white Southerner? Anyway, does the US actually provide Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union in this TL or only to Britain? And either way, without direct US participation in WWII, the Nazis almost certainly won't get completely...

The Democratic elites who will choose the 1940 Democratic nominee in this TL?

John Nance Garner, not James Garner. But Garner would also be considerably warier of helping the British relative to FDR, no? That could be a factor against choosing him.
