FDR said we must take a stand against “dictatorship by mob rule and the overprivileged alike.” His words are true today. Economic tyrants who fly to DC in private jets & enter the capitol building politely can be as dangerous to our democracy as rioters in MAGA hats who storm it.

FDR was far more dangerous to our democracy than anyone who went into the Capitol a couple weeks ago... well, anyone but Pence, Pelosi and McConnell.

He saved nothing. He sold what was left of our representative government for fascism, and we've never been the same since. There's a reason we had to amend the Constitution to keep anyone else from having so long of a term.

Do you have a case to make or are you just going to let this stand on its own. What part of rounding people into camps and pushing a variety of social programs (that exacerbated the depression and crushed opposition) through threats to pack the Court do you think saved democracy?
