Maybe they are scared that if they mentioned this, right wingers and republicans might start questioning whether America was actually correct or not during ww2.

FDR is also the reason for the 22nd Amendment.
And also proof that our elections are fucking rigged
Mandatory seizure of gold alone would tank that. Also it would open the can of worms that is Wilson’s legacy. They enjoy having the delusion of the “great new deal”, bragging about it would drag the harsh reality of how fucking awful FDRs economic policies were and why the perpetual war machine was started.
They'd have to take responsibility for nuking Japan then.
It's ok to hate on Japan now
They probably don't want people looking too hard into WWII history in case people figure out the Americans were the bad guys and still are.
I don't find it strange. If they talked about it people might look it up, and that would lead to finding out that FDR was a Trotskyite traitor.
Or the 'sweetheart' deals they gave Stalin & Mao...
I feel like that was too long ago for anyone to care.
obviously people still care because both sides keep calling each other "nazis" and "fascists" and "literally Hitler"
I think people care an order of magnitude more about their current economic situation than they do stuff that happened in WWII. Barely anyone is even left from that time.
They’ll use the mouth utterances of nazi and fascist but it’s just snarl words.
yes but since people keep using those snarl words, maybe they should know what they are talking about before they say it.
Wait, you expect leftists to actually know what they're saying? Lolz!
I mean any intelligent person should know the meaning of what leaves their mouth, but we're dealing with leftists here so... not one of them qualifies.
Not just leftists. I also expect right wingers and republicans to know what they are saying when they call others "fascists'" which most of them do not.
How dare you trivialize the 60 gorilllion Jewish deaths, as a holocaust survivor, I still remember like it was yesterday!
too much focus on 'they swapped' in the 60s.
It might make people question the "big switch" too.
Maybe the nazis we defeated were just the democrats we elected along the way.
I doubt 80% of Americans could name the political party of a single president pre-Reagan at this point.
They all know Nixon was a Republican, but I doubt many know which PotUS ended the Vietnam war, or who started it...
They're a little nervous about doing this because FDR was a Democratic Socialist, which is why the country was economically damaged by him dragging out the depression, why he committed ethnic cleansings, why he tried to pack the courts, why he tried to monopolize the media, why he worked directly with the mob, why he basically suspended constitutional law, why he seized gold, why he murdered union protestors, why the country became a one-party state, why he created the pension ponzi scheme and linked it with mass registration, and why he seized control of the banking system and set up the GAE.
Progressives cite him all the time to explain why we should be a Socialist country, and how popular Democratic Socialism is.
The Neo-Liberals agree with what he did, but replicating it would be something that they are extremely lacking political capital for.
But the left likes all of those things.
Yes, but Fabian Socialists and Communists have been at each other's throats since the Fabians took over Berlin during the 1918 revolution, and let the Communists get killed.
The Neo-Liberals (Fabians) agree with what he did, but can't replicate it in a way that preserves their power. The Progressives (Communists) don't care if they lose power, they'll just kill whomever objects.
Despite what they say about "no bad tactics", they actually do have a lethal division of tactics that they will attack each other over.
They can't honor history, only progress. Also note that they were on the "wrong side" of the civil rights movement, more recently than WWII.
The United States entered the war because Japan attacked it. Japan attacked it because the United States cut ties with them. The United States cut ties with them because they were acting like subhuman monsters. Neither refusing to support a rampaging death cult nor going to war with said death cult when it turned on them was incorrect, and we shouldn't start acting like dindus in the death cult's defense to own the Democrats.
People talk a lot about how warped our history is taught to mislead us, and then still run all theirs ideas off the propaganda that focused all of American WW2 on the European War.
