Other than wasting huge amounts of money, empowering the feds the New Deal achieved nothing. So much so that in 1938 , at the height of it all then Secretary of The Treasury commented that "We're spending money but gaining nothing''. The worst effects of the Depression had begun to lessen by 1939 but undeniably America's entry into WW2 ended it for good. As to socialism in the Democrat Party most credit that with George McGovern's failed 1972 bid for The White House. Yes I know how the Dems latch on to The Civil War, pro- Union and Lincoln, yes it's true and their hatred of the US knows no bounds. Today the Democrats new private army is BLM and Antifa. And it's some what disappointing to read that , again for someone, that is you, who appears at times to have support for the Confederacy to have resentment for Lincoln and the Union which the South rejoined. What is with Lost Causers and the fact they won't admit they're really closet Democrats?
First of all, WILSON was the catalyst for seriously turning Dems and this country against itself. He was a “Progressive”. You could call him the first Dem Progressive, and Teddy the last Repub Progressive.
I support the Confederacy. Sure. But you’ll be damn hard-pressed to find me EVER being anything of a “Democrat” the entire 5 decades of my life. Not even close - never, ever a communist. Hate them. Which is why I hate Dems NOW.
And you acknowledge modern Dems love Lincoln and the CW USA? But nothing else about the USA? In fact they hate all else about the USA. Isn’t that interesting - think about that. Why is that? Admit it - the “USA” was wrong.
