Can you imagine if FDR had come into office during the Great Depression and said “We need to take baby steps”? Support @JoeBiden & Congress in taking giant strides! We need to avoid what MLK called “the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.”

FDR put 9000 Japanese-Americans in concentration camps. So why hasn't he been cancelled?

FDR moved fast on internment camps, we remember that; history.com/this-day-in-hist…

We endorse baby steps

Can you imagine FDR getting the country on track about the horrible depression? Even in the middle of it he had detractors, and what did he say? "I welcome their hatred" and he went full steam ahead.

An Australian Prime Minister in the 1970s brought in sweeping changes such as universal health care and indigenous rights. He was plotted against and sacked, using our system for bad instead of good. May that not be your experience.

It's interesting that FDR is held up as the paradigm of social justice warrior by democratics, yet if he were around today he would be told to wait cause it's not the right time.

Sure, we will watch Joe Biden. The giant steps though, will most certainly be in the service of his corporate masters, and the different kind of fascism that they represent. This is what gave birth to Trump in the first place. Surprised you’re not able to see that.
