Congress and the Courts are dominated by people opposed to governance by constitutional means but who instead serve to protect and expand upon FDR’s legacy of highhanded lawlessness ... and most people don’t see that either.
I worked briefly with some guy who had a PhD in something or other. He was firmly convinced that FDR had steered the country masterfully through the depression, which he overcame before Pearl Harbor.
He was also one of the people that Bernie Madoff wiped out, so how smart could he have been?
