FDR is definitely good. Also a good indication he is good when Zeus dislikes him so much.

I also dislike Hitler. Does that make him a swell guy in your book? I've also never been a fan of Mussolini and Stalin. Are they great guys in your opinion? Using who somebody dislikes as a metric for whether those disliked individuals are good is ridiculously idiotic.

or the horseshit about how humans only use 10% of their brains.

But it we could use the other 90%, we'd have superpowers!!!!... according to Hollywood.

People really like FDR? The dude who had Japanese internment camps? The dude who turned Jews away that were fleeing from Germany in WWII? FDR was one of the most racist presidents but is still loved somehow. I don't get how liberals can defend tearing down statues of racists, and non racists who did nothing to deserve it, like Grant, but still love FDR despite his hatred for black people, jews, and asians.

Yeah, FDR had a pretty shitty history. BlackScythe complains about detaining illegal immigrants at the border yet he idolizes FDR who rounded up US citizens on the basis of race and detained them in absolutely horrific camps where thousands died.

Also, you forgot the time when he was mad because the Supreme Court told him he couldn't do something, so he wanted to change the law to increase the number of justices so he could flood the court with loyalists who would rubber stamp anything he wanted. The threat of which terrorized the court into being less antagonistic in the future, for fear that he'd push to fuck with them if they dared block too many of his proposals.

tbh, I forgot about that. FDR is just more and more fucked up. Although I guess you can expect that from a guy who cheated on his wife with his own cousin.

People don't tend to rate Andrew Jackson too poorly, hell he's on the 5 dollar bill, and that bastard committed genocide.

Kind of a weird example when discussing the fact that FDR was involved in what could constitute genocide, considering he rounded up people on the basis of race to put them in absolutely atrocious camps where they were starved and denied basic necessities, criteria used to constitute acts of genocide in other countries. Again, thousands of CITIZENS died in FDR's internment camps, generally of things that could have been easily treated or prevented.
