Greater. Much bigger player in the show. Liked the Ford-Taft poster in last post-Lindbergh election scene. Perfect.
I don't think a crisis will bring greater justice -- much more likely to induce a new dark age of fascism. Fantasy is the idea that (as Joe Biden claims) GOP will go back to normal after Trump (or that GOP would go with Taft after Lindbergh instead of, say, Westbrook Pegler)

Roth's deus ex machina gives us FDR after Lindy, with blessing of Mrs. Lindy, despite Dems' dependence on the South, for Roth the incarnation of evil. 1/

Never underestimate the allure of American sentimentality--the return to normalcy is the secret dream of US fascists, who change channel to The Bachelor when they tire of The Apprentice.

"Return to normality" is a very potent political pitch. It's why Biden is the nominee and will help him win the White House. But it's not a very realistic political program. Harding's "normalcy" proved just an interlude between crises.
