The slow will not understand this. But here is a history lesson.
FDR is arguably the most popular President of all time. They came up with term limits because of him. He gave his speech proposing a second bill of rights at an SOTU! Can you imagine anything like this being said by either party today? Billionaires know that a competently run government could indeed produce great results for it’s citizens. That’s why they spend every moment trying to wreck government or slander it.
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.
Among these are: The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home; The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
We need another “I welcome their hatred” type.
Mamdani should incorporate this into his
speeches
Given his status in American history it looks ridiculous to rational people to smear him as a communist. Irrational people you’re not going to capture anyway.
But as an example let’s say Mamdani quoted from it during a debate and his opponent did the duh Communist routine. He could say I want to get this straight. You’re disrespecting the man who guided us through one of our most turbulent economic periods, through WW2. A man who term limits were created for? You are questioning his patriotism and commitment to the people of the United States? That’s certainly an interesting choice that I summarily reject and I suspect the American people do to. I’m trying to get this country back to his lofty ideals.
A lot harder to smear FDR to the average non MAGAT.
