Then why bring it up? No, seriously why? I don't recall ever talking to you about it nor caring or even seeing you speak about it in public so who where you clarifying too?
To explain where my reasoning comes from so it isn't mistaken as having formed in a vacuum nothing more and nothing less.
I know you have a bug up your ass because the site's been shifting farther to the non traditional right over the last three years and I know you get off on twisting the words of people you dislike or just straight up lying about them but come now.
Prove it. It's a known fact that Calvin Coolidge and Hoover where minarchist by both word and action and presided over the party after most of the progressives left whine the Bull Moose Party failed and the more pro-business portion of the party that had clung to Taft took over and their where plenty of examples of it.
Calvin Coolidge was a gigantic autist who disdained the Press (based!) and reviled public speaking, he was also one of the fuckheads who granted more power to Hoover and his boyfriends and was one of the presidents who used the war on organized crime and outlaws to strengthen federal power. Fucking over distillers and mountain culture pretty hard.
Hoover played with his nuts while the country went to hell and failed to act to curtail progressive influence and growth within the state. He was the Gerald Ford of the pre cold war 20th.
You are categorically wrong.
I don't care about your theories involving the goddamn war, they are irrelevant true or false. The American public regardless took FDR's words at face value resulting in more backlash against the Republicans.
my theories which beclown your entire point go excellently with how little of a shit the average American cares until they perceived one of their own getting a shot. Japan had been a problem since the fucking 1890s, the US had been fucking with their economy for a full generation before Pearl Harbor due to their insanity. You citing that a reason for FDR's success without acknowledging that he engineered a World War to screw the citizenry over is hilarious.
To quote a schizophrenic lawyer "legless, polio, crippled, drug addiction, demon". And the right failed to muster meaningful opposition against naked evil. The only guy who did was even worse!
Do a better job at carrying water for useless mother fuckers who've only regained ground in the last half century solely because major American cities sporadically erupt into post apocalyptic wastelands.
