(75,480 posts)some decisions that aren't popular in this century, but that most Americans thought were fine back then. So therefore I guess we need to throw all of them under the bus who actually did things that make our lives better today, like ending slavery, ending the robber baron era, ending the Depression, making Social Security, instituting the Marshal Plan after WWII that has Europe and Japan as prosperous countries instead of failed states like North Korea and Afghanistan, instituting Medicare, Civil Rights, the Affordable Care Act and so on. Yes, every single President who made these things happen also did things that were wrong. However, they didn't do every damn thing wrong like all the Republican Presidents with the exception of Eisenhower yet he did some bad shit as well.
But you know that because all you want to do is stir shit. If you don't like Roosevelt, put up a separate post about it because criticism of him on this OP is out of context.
