FDR

“It’s always dangerous to draw political parallels between the past and present,” Herz said, “but Mann went from becoming an admirer of FDR to experiencing the political shift to McCarthyism.”

I think it's what they're doing right now is very reminiscent of like FDR Democrats, of we don't have to accept this.

“After FDR died, before the conclusion of his fourth term, a variety of people came together and concluded they needed to codify the notion of a two-term presidency.”

Since perhaps FDR's New Deal and World War II, the interests of the average American have been understood to be inseparable from U.S. democratic capitalism.

In that same speech, FDR also defended each of his progressive reforms as nothing more than “the American thing to do,” repeating the refrain over and over.
