scale of 1 to 10 how just was japanese internmenthttps://twitter.com/portsideview/status/1138989173237567489 …

remember when he tried to get rid of all the Supreme Court justices that thought his policies were unconstitutional

That’s not what he did - he tried to add a ton of new justices to outstrip the ones that disagreed with him

let’s just come together and agree what he tried to do to the supreme court was tyrannical and insane

He was a shit head. He’s the only 20th century president I hated the more I read about him. Most presidents I consider shitty had enlightening and redeeming backstories. His was him being a prick his whole life and his mother having gender dysphoria by proxy on him

Oof. Hard disagree. How can you say beating disability to become President and take the nation out of the Great Depression and win WW2 is not phenomenal? Most historians - even those who dislike his politics - put him in the top 3 Presidents of all time.

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.
