Franklin D. Roosevelt's (Dem) 'New Deal' was so impressive it got him re-elected in 1940 by a landslide, the date of this movie - The Ghost Breakers. What Bob Hope (who was an asshole, although a talented asshole) and wealthy fat cats didn't like about the New Deal in the late 1930s was that it taxed the rich in order to rebuild the nation. Eisenhower's Admin and Congresss would later rein-in spending, and earn the name 'Conservatives', a term that's been misused for the past 4 decades while Republicans have spent trillions on themselves at the expense of the 99%. The New Deal was the last important legislation in the US that helped the 99%. This is a great clip - as it shows something about Bob that reminds us of what an elitist asshat he was. :-)

Of course the new deal is praised by libtards. Dems also praised Obamacare and it's a fucking scam for the rich by the rich just like the current plandemic for profit. FDR was the prick that snubbed Jessie Owens and Hitler was the leader of a nation that acknowledged Jessie Owens. FDR was a piece of shit just like all Dems.

We're obviously reading different history texts, and have different concepts of the uses of whataboutism.
