FDR of course seriously increased the length and depth of the Great Depression, it didn't end until he realized he needed "capitalists" etc. to win WWII and stopped making war on them in favor of his goal to make as much of the world burn as possible.

Japan in particular. That's my conclusion about his fundamental nature including pre-polio.

Your grandpa must have not been among the quarter of the country that FDR was deliberately starving according to his own USDA and confirmed by the WWII era draft. Or knew anyone who was in that set, or just didn't realize what was going on.

My early Silent Generation parents grew up on farms, but were psychologically scarred by this, and essentially never voted for Democrats.
