As a worker in the 1970s, I looked forward to a Jimmy Carter administration. By the end of his term in office, like millions of my union sisters and brothers, I felt betrayed.
Wait are we now pretending like fdr, the guy who threw thousands of Asia. Americans in camps was not a piece of shit? At best he was not against black rights, but he was not about to spend political capital in helping black people. He was one of those so called allies who claims he wants equality for black people, but wants black people to behave, earn it and wait a few decades. That’s no ally at all.
Now that I think of it, he’s a POS. But granted, I guess what rose-tinted my glasses towards him is him being president to declare war against the fascists of Japan, Italy, and Nazi (the latter, prolly conditionally) and his lend-lease aid to USSR.
I can say he was a necessary evil, but no long-term ally indeed
People like fdr only cared about white workers
Hmmph… with a mindset like that, you could read settlers, lmao (It’s just a joke, never read, in my life)
But then again, this book might be too extreme for your tastes.
