trivia time who was FDR's first vice president?
No, he didn’t. FDR was a major reason Dixiecrat “segregationists” turned Republican in the first place.
Implementing wildly popular public policy is the one instance in which compromise is completely unnecessary, and it’s utterly craven to misrepresent it as otherwise in this moment in time.

we built the entire modern administrative state over FDR's first term
I fear that the point is that in four years there won't be any agencies to give money to even if Republicans somehow lose power. Future leaders can try to build new systems and institutions but the ones that existed before 2025 will be gone.

They didn't make permanent institutional changes that enlarged the government?
A lot of the stuff they've done isn't even roll back able if they wanted to. You can't just restore USAID in 4 years

“FDR’s mysterious potions” is an absolutely solid display name for a 1940s military group chat

If that president has FDR's majority, then yeah, duh.
This site will expect the next Dem president to deliver what FDR delivered in four terms but in the first 100 days and if they don’t they’ll call them a fascist.
A non-zero number of folks on Bluesky, for understandable reasons, have put way too much hope in the next Democratic administration in the US, and are brewing themselves up for another existential breakdown in like 2029 or 2030.

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

This is like FDR's famous "100 days" -- except that FDR was trying to fix the Great Depression, whereas Trump is trying to start one.

i think everyone on the left should more or less aggressively grab on to the legacy of FDR's war liberalism and shove it down the throat of every fascist until they cannot breath
