We are so, so lucky that they made the stupid choice of thinking Smedley Butler would betray his own country.
But unlucky that FDR thought it better to blackmail fascists for a short term political gains. Ultimately obscuring the extent of what happened and who was involved. Leaving the fascism to simmer for 100 years. He should have tried and hung each and every businessman and Republican involved.
Agreed, but I'll take that huge silver lining.
The only problem with that is. The fascist Republicans have largely and effectively mined out that silver vein over the last 100 years. It does still exist at least. And it's definitely far better than a kick in the teeth. But as someone eligible for it in roughly 15 years. It's not going to count for much. People already on it are falling back into poverty and struggling to survive as is. Plus they're getting ready to cut payments not increase. Possibly even canceling outright for many should Trump and Republicans win office again. That's why it's a short-term Victory realistically speaking.
Should have publicly shot them and said "Hey we aren't Germany, we have means to help those Fascism corrupts."
