FDR is such a fucking jerk and has lost much, if not all of his credibility. He refused to give equal rights to black people. For example, he didn’t push through an anti-lyinching bill and upheld segregation in order to hold Southern democrats, making the passage of the New Deal possible. In 1936, he authorized Hoover to secretly investigate Americans and in 1940 authorized the Smith Act, aimed at getting resident aliens out of the U.S. by making them register and loosening the ability to deport anyone deemed "undesirable". He also turned away the S.S. St. Louis, which was full of jews leading directly to the death of 254 of its passengers in the holocaust. Perhaps most nortoriously, FDR interred Japanese Americans. What a fucking jerk. Clearly, he was a failed President and wasn’t worth a hill of beans.
Or John Adams, using the Sedition act. Total failure. No credibility. Or Lincoln that no credibility hack suspended habeus corpus and then refused to obey the Supreme Court ruling saying he couldn’t do that. He also arrested and put in jail people who spoke out against him. I’m glad history has given him the big smackdown.
