FDR was a true empiricist when it came to political experimentation. His "Try something, try anything," quote demonstrates that he wasn't steeped in any ideological position. He may have abandoned the New Deal and went back to his Bourbon Dem positions if WWII didn't happen.

WW2 fell in his lap. There wouldn’t have been a recovery if the Japanese hadn’t bombed Perl Harbor.

He sold his office for power and favors. The blueprint for the modern quid-pro-quo backroom deals of today. I guess the best comparison today is Wilson=Bernie FDR=Pelosi, Clinton, Biden, etc. Progressivism was how he got power, not why.

I find it sad so many view history by events without context. Or worse, place those events in today’s surroundings.

HBO's The Plot Against America posits the horror of FDR losing to Charles Linberg in which instead of hundreds of thousands killed in war war 2, Japanese internment, laying the ground for the cold war... a couple of Jews are forced to move to Kentucky. The horror!
