Do you think FDR would have been reelected again had he not died?

Do you think FDR would have been reelected again had he not died?

Yes, is popularity was very high

he was the closest thing to dictator the US ever had

Are you kidding me?

Trump is a retard and I doubt he will ever complete his term, he's nor a dictator not even a politician, he is a joke and an embarrassment to the US

the question is would he run again? The war was over, and that's a nice closer to go out on, besides he was increasingly facing health problems even before he had a fatal stroke or cardiac arrest or whatever, the job was just too stressful for him.

So I don't necessarily think he would've ran again, though if he had perhaps the world would be pretty different.

Trump isn't a dictator.
He desparately wants to be one, but the institutions are holding up.

Absolutely.

Both his terms, you mean.

Trump didn't try to stack the supreme court with yes-men. Trump didn't imprison hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans.

Yet. And he's about to imprisoned Muslim american

no.

first thing the senate and states did after ww2 was finally wrapped up. was pass the 22nd amendment. just to make sure another FDR couldn't happen.

they would have done it if he was still alive. because he was a senile champagne socialist that desperately wanted to be a dictator.

Obama created a law that allowed indefinite detention of americans with out due process, a trial, or other protections.

yeah, american strength and prosperity had increased dramatically under his presidency

xddddd

Is this Carl the Cuck?

You're both wrong.

Trump doesn't have shit on FDR. He's a do-nothing President sitting on his ass representing the impotence of poor rural whites.
FDR was a military dictator in all but name.

Bullshit and you know it. Huey never wielded serious power

And Trump isn't a cripple.

Huey couldn't have been a dictator because if he ever got elected president he would have made every man a king and a king is greater than a president.

Huey would've ascended to the realm of the gods

lol. It's funny because every capitalist should thank FDR for saving capitalism. The US would've been plunged in a nasty ass conflict at home over labor and the rising socialist movement of the time. FDR & New Deal friends were the capitalists who saw the danger of commies taking things into their own hands and beat them to the punch by implementing a lot of needed welfare so to quell a (at the time) throbbing revolt.

Without FDR y'all niggas grandpas would've been put against the wall, but you're too dumb to pickup a history book to realize it. FDR was one of the greatest enemies of socialism and communism and unlike retards like Reagan and co. who think letting the working class fester in shit will solve our problems, chose to do the smart thing.

Welfare reforms are well documented in combating the rise of socialist tendencies in a population, it's a move that was pulled (to success) by Bismarck.

>FDR was one of the greatest enemies of socialism
fucking this

Stormfags claiming he was commie/socialist is fucking retarded

If FDR really was a closet commie/soviet-boo he would've shared Manhattan project secrets with USSR

without a doubt, though the question would be if he wanted yet another term as I doubt he would've been that healthy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Trump is an unironically incompetent retard who has accomplished so little I'd put him below fucking Carter, and that says something.
FDR was almost able to basically stack the Supreme Court in his favor, Trump would be impeached just for tweeting about trying to do that.
You could do a pretty good virgin/chad image about them

>You could do a pretty good virgin/chad image
about them

I'm imagining FDR doing the Chad walk in his fucking wheelchair and I'm already laughing.

Filthy Marxist

I actually miss him.

>Stormfags claiming he was commie/socialist is fucking retarded
Protip: it's not stormfags who claim that, it's the (((libertarians))).

Fuck the wheelchair, just his crazy stilts and


FDR trying to walk would probably look like the Chad stride.

>implying the free market doesn't need to be shaken up like good old Teddy and Frankie did to keep the oligarch's honest
>implying a digital new deal that opens up American ISPs to outside competition through government strongarming wouldn't be insanely popular

If the CEOs of your average telecom company were sent to an internment camp your average millenial would cheer.


You listen to marxists, then use their critique to prolong capitalism.

I wish everyone Veeky Forums would take you seriously on Trump. Trump is serious a fascist, racist dictator backed by Russia and the Kremlin. Trump is a Nazi and he's completely racist and bigoted and will put Muslims, Gays, Transgenders, liberals, and Mexicans into concentration camps and gas them!

He's a Russian puppet dictator.

you knew him??????

BUT NO ONE WEARS THE CROWN

The country's political system was almost wholly illiberal by the time he got elected to a third term. If he had run for re-election again, he would have won regardless of what the people wanted.

Beautifully articulated.

FDR was basically Hitler minus the antisemitism.
>class cooperation instead of class warfare
>rejecting both unrestricted tycoon capitalism and marxist socialism
>called "fascist" by opponents despite never claiming to be a fascist
>both were almost removed by a military coup (Business Plot and 20 July Plot)
>tons of monumental public projects, especially in infrastructure and housing
>great public support and beloved by the poor
>dictatorial tendencies (FDR only didn't become a dictator because the Congress cockblocked him, while Hitler was given full power by the Reichstag and the president)
>both advised by extremely intelligent economists (Harry Dexter White and Hjalmar Schacht) who successfully implemented a Keynesian economic model to get out a brutal depression
I'd even go as far as to claim Huey Long was FDR's Strasser.

He controlled the entire state of Louisiana from the House to the Senate and just about every other level of state government. When he became senator he still ruled the state by selecting Oscar K. Allen to be a puppet governor. He took out a portion of nearly every state employees salary into his own personal fund at election time so that they could keep their jobs and Huey could run his political machine (nobody actually found the box when he died)

That's just scratching the surface. Huey Long was described as the most dangerous man in America by FDR himself.

There's really no one else like the Kingfish in the history of American politics.

Shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up.
I'll admit to the day I die that I voted for him but he's shown himself to be an absolute orange nigger who needs his daughter and step son to constantly re-assure him and reel in his worst impulses. He makes me ashamed to be American at this rate just by the way he behaves.

>The potential of a man to hypothetically do something at some indeterminate point in the future is equivalent to what another man actually did in the past.

>prevent socialism by levying punitively high taxes on productive people to subsidize the lives of the lower class.

that is just surrendering to socialism slowly.

fdr have half or europe away to stalin. even though japan attacked us and was the one capable of attacking the USA. he put priority on fighting the fascists in europe. lend-lease was the only thing that saved the soviets from defeat.
