You are a troll, as shown by your words above. You even are a troll when you talk about history, which you seem to have no real respect for. I assume you were just as unprincipled, and equally or even more ignorant, when you were a young Democrat.Now on to FDR
Did you realise how close to Hitler he was?
If you were interested in talking meaningfully about some pre-WWII Democratic policies and Hitler’s own fascist policies, you might have talked — thoughtfully — about America’s tragic Jim Crow apartheid system … which Hitler admired and took inspiration from, and which was most strongly institutionalized in those days precisely in the Democratic Party-controlled Deep South.
Those are the sorts of historical subjects that honest historians can and do discuss … without acting like hyper-partisan trolls. Of course the U.S. was not comparable to Nazi Germany in those days in most other ways, indeed also had a strong “melting pot” democratic culture. We were able, finally and with difficulty, to remove our own remaining Jim Crow apartheid laws ... a terrible legacy of slavery and the failure of Reconstruction after the Civil War.
