scale of 1 to 10 how just was japanese internmenthttps://twitter.com/portsideview/status/1138989173237567489 …
FDR was the closest thing this nation ever had to a dictator. japanese internment alone should disqualify him from greatness, but he also extended the great depression, tried to pack the supreme court, and permanently altered our relationship with the government. horrific.

War is tough. I agree it was a morally wrong move, but so is war entirely. Whether or not he extended the Great Depression is unknown. Some economists of course think that is true, but Keynsianism was the gold standard back then, and the demand side was falling fast.

You can point to FDR on this graph and notice a trend. We went from 13% of world GDP to 32%. FDR executed that winning strategy, period. Increased federal power was necessary for this to happen. Agreed his court stacking was abhorrent.pic.twitter.com/37s0JeBQTo
