While the Fascist (GOP) Party is busy banging the drum about Critical Race Theory and banning books they find offensive: The Lorax, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Handmaid’s Tale, Beloved and The Color Purple; they’re mostly grateful the masses “forgot” this inconvenient truth. I had already read about how Hoover almost refused to vacate the White House because he feared FDR would implement (gasp!) Socialism! The inept little boob demanded promises from the incoming president-elect he wouldn’t dare do such things. Who cares what the the people at large voted for. Given FDR’s nature, anything close to what the Soviet Union was doing was far from his mind and I don’t think he’d oppose what the Scandinavian nations have perfected today.
Meanwhile, what the One Percenters of 1933 had in planned makes January 6th (2021) look like the Chuck E Cheese party it transformed into, just with less shit on the walls. Read the article and you’ll see why I have believed since I was in college and will until I’m dead…rich people hate democracy! The current titans are no different. Pesky stuff such as minimum wage, worker safety, time off, public education, etc. are a pain in the ass to them. They demand a return to serfdom since the Gilded Age 2.0 isn’t enough. If you’re skeptical, you’ll change your mind if you found out how much SCOTUS Justice Clarence “Token” Thomas’ trophy wife is involved with organizations planning to take away our rights. We also found out the “legal” strategy Girth Vader’s henchmen had planned until Y’all-Qeda stormed the fences; nullify the legitimate electors from GA, AZ and WI, install flunkies. Once again, the Fascist Suits lost control of their dumber goons.
Thankfully, FBI Director J Edgar Hoover and a general who was loyal to the American people and not its money, did the right thing. The latter I can see, the former was a shock as he had no love of FDR and would’ve welcomed a dictator. FDR probably wanted to get even with these wealthy pricks yet I know he was more pragmatic than me so he figured it was better to let them believe they got away with it and gamble on getting their assistance in the future, which he grudgingly received in WWII.
Let’s remind our descendants about how much the found of Ford Motors admired Hitler and sent him birthday cards. Let’s remind everyone about Lindbergh’s isolationism, hatred of Jews and Nazi sympathies. Let’s never forget how the Dulles Brothers liked the Nazis until it was inconvenient. Always bring up how Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of two shitty, corrupt presidents, sold weapons to re-arm the Nazi regime. Many wealthy people are racists, classists and have dark hearts as DeVos (the Amway Pyramid), the Kochs (fossil fuels) and Mercers prove daily.
