    Another thing Wilson did was internment camps before FDR made them cool

    Only 2,048 German Americans were actually interned in WWI vs 110,000 Japanese American in WWII. But still.
    Not to mention Americans who were opposed to the war or who didn't ration and ended up in jail.

    But Wilson and FDR were good guys with a D next to their name. Trump is Hitler
    Fear not, the D's will soon disown Wilson and FDR like they did Jefferson and Jackson. Tump is not Hitler, he's Jackson (or so the popular narrative goes).

    All kidding aside, Wilson was a POS POTUS; FDR, while not successful in all of his policies, still deserves to be considered a great POTUS.
    Agree on Wilson.

    FDR established the Entitlement Era though. He should be dinged for that.
    Someone had to break the seal on the socialism thing; it was inevitable. Why not a rich guy cripple to break the bad news to his friends?
    People who weren't there like I was don't always understand the pressure on capitalism after the stock market crash. Makes 2008 seem like a walk in the park with pseudo wall street occupiers checking their cell phones.

    There was real pressure on the US Government. There were a lot of unemployed men with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. A lot of what FDR did was good and needed but the consequence was of course, that once unleashed government will never get smaller, it will only continue to get bigger

    FDR let Pearl Harbor happen.

    FDR's oil embargo on Japan, "mistakenly" enacted by Acheson while FDR was meeting with Churchill to discuss the Atlantic Charter, was meant to protect the USSR from Japan. The possibility that they would strike south (and against US forces in the Philippines) was a calculated risk, but at the very least they could not strike north like they had in 1939. FDR knew we* needed the USSR to do the heavy lifting on the continent, so they had to survive. That the Japanese attacked us* wasn't necessarily a surprise, but that they attacked Pearl Harbor was definitely a surprise.
    Good thing the Soviets hammered the Japanese in eastern Siberia in 1939.
    Yeah, at a time when they weren't getting their shit pushed in by the Wehrmacht
    People forget that when America was dragging its heels getting into Western Europe, the Soviets were dragging their heels getting into the fight against the Japanese in Asia. People forget this.
    People also forget the Japanese kicked their chinebriated asses in 1905 too.
    The Soviets always were better fighters than the Tsarists.

    Agree. The Common Good must be enforced at all costs.

    Score one for the geezer here. Probably FDR's greatest achievement was to keep the political spectrum in the US narrow at a time when other industrial democracies were grappling with, at times, outright conflict between socialists/communists and fascists. Here, those parties were present but kept to fringe status, which is good, because those parties in other countries were the ones to advocate throwing out their existing constitutions and try something new.
