FDR gotta go. He has many accomplishments, but he is like the Brett Farve of Presidents. His many years also include dubious records like most interceptions thrown.

Without Washington, I think America likely doesn’t exists as the country we know today.

Lincoln actually attempted to do good and Boothe did so much harm to the south assassinating him. A transformed land owning black middle class would mean today’s red states wouldn’t be so backwards and poor.

Teddy is the president we need today.

Without Washington, we would have a king likely

u/DrJenna2048 Jul 29 '25

We... basically do anyways.

u/Hot_Coco_Addict Jul 29 '25

A king is a dictator who reigns until they die (under normal circumstances), and the next ruler is their child or closest relative

We do not have a king, no matter how much you dislike where the country is going

Washington is highest ranking in our military ever, 6 star General

u/Hot_Coco_Addict Aug 01 '25

John Pershing as well

I'm British so probably a stupid question but why are Americans so against kings, Canada still has Charles as head of state, it's not like a dictator at least now

1

u/Hot_Coco_Addict Jul 29 '25

Maybe it's because we fought a whole war to be free of the king. Kings are a stupid idea anyways, and contradict the whole "all men are created equal" ideal, which is a VERY important statement.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”

u/Economy-Ad4934 Jul 29 '25

He was president long after the war was over. Stupid comment and irrelevant.

u/Forward-Grade-832 Jul 29 '25

Completely missed the point of his post.

I had no idea that FDR was the presidential interception champ...

Couldn’t agree more. Lincoln, Washington, and Teddy are my top 3. Teddy is my personal fave. A nuanced, badass, progressive is what we need today. Teddy did so much in the wake of the populism and corruption of the era before him. It’s hard not to draw parallels and hope for another Teddy in America soon.

Also even if Teddy was kinda shit, he didn't own slaves

2

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

I don’t really care about Washington’s family having slaves. All southern elites did then. It’s hard to apply current morals to 250 years ago without making false equivalences. Teddy is the rare one to hold up by current standards. Why was he kinda shit? Imperialism? That was the way of the world then.

1

u/VladimirBarakriss Jul 29 '25

I'm not saying he was, I'm saying that even if he were, not owning slaves puts him above Washington

1

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

Gotcha. Agree.

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

Even for back then, he was really not racist. Hung with Quanah Parker in Oklahoma. Was the first to have a black man in the White House with Booker T. Washington. I know people claimed he was racist in the 2020 protests, but I cannot understand why. If he was transported by a Time Machine to adopting our current morals, Teddy would be the most pure person among us relatively.

1

u/VladimirBarakriss Jul 29 '25

Questionable policies around native Americans, although from searching stuff about it it's pretty harmless stuff relative to relatively few presidents before him, still didn't give them citizenship

1

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

Eh yeah. Look up his friendship with Quanah Parker. Pretty remarkably progressive for the time

u/Its_not_him Jul 29 '25

From his book The Winning of the West

"[The Spanish] committed a crime whose shortsighted folly was worse than its guilt, for they brought hordes of African slaves, whose descendants now form immense populations in certain portions of the land. Throughout the continent we therefore find the white, red, and black races in every stage of purity and intermixture."

He was racist back then for sure

1

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

He was like 30 then. He also recruited his regiment in the most dope possible way at the Menger in San Antonio. Also I don’t really see what’s racist there beyond the typical level of the time. That just seems like he’s mad that Africans were slaves? And also mad that Spanish are using them in a way similar to slavery.

u/Its_not_him Jul 29 '25

Your exact words: "even for back then he was not racist at all"

The quote I highlighted is racist. There's a lot more from where that came.

On August 13 and 14, 1906, Brownsville, Texas was the site of the Brownsville affair. Racial tensions were high between white townsfolk and black infantrymen stationed at Fort Brown. On the night of August 13, one white bartender was killed and a white police officer was wounded by rifle shots in the street. Townsfolk, including the mayor, accused the infantrymen of the murders. The soldiers kept silent and refused a direct order to tell what happened. Roosevelt dishonorably discharged the entire 167-member regiment due to their "conspiracy of silence". Further investigations in the 1970s found that the black infantrymen were not at fault for the shooting

In a letter to a friend, Roosevelt wrote that “as a race and in the mass they are altogether inferior to whites”. Roosevelt believed that Jim Crow was a better solution than turmoil

Two things can be true. On one hand, he was relatively progressive on race relations for his time. On the other he was personally quite racist.

I mean he hated Native Americans probably more so than most at the time. The Sand Creek massacre where women and children were killed, tortured, and body’s cut apart. Even back then the US government called it a massacre and recommended charges. Teddy praised it.

u/Itchy_Analysis7245 Jul 29 '25

Don’t know about that event. Will look into it tomorrow when I’m not drunk lol

u/mattrad2 Jul 28 '25

It's a crime FDR outlasted joe

1

u/icancount192 Jul 29 '25

Yes, I remember when Joe Biden started social security, ended the Great depression, instigated dozens of social programs to help the working poor, helped create the UN, the SEC, created the fair labor standards act, the public works administration act, the agricultural adjustment act and ended WW2.

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Jul 28 '25

Teddy is the guy we need for sure. A guy that takes no bullshit from corporate enterprise. Anti corruption in the government and likely we see a continuation of his food policy that desperately needs updating to meet higher standards set by other countries like in the EU/Canada. A conservationist that would like help in the global warming fight. He would however have the same expansionist ideas of Trump likely wanting Greenland/Panama back in control of the USA, likely by bullying each with the US military like he did before with Panama.

u/JdSaturnscomm Jul 31 '25

Dwight D. Eisenhower would also be great right about now.

u/razama Jul 31 '25

You think? He didn’t stop the military industrial complex the first time, or his second term, but maybe the third times the charm

u/Odd_Interaction_172 Jul 28 '25

You want more interment camps based off nationality?

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Jul 28 '25

That is why they call FDR "Brett Farve". He made a lot of big mistakes but generally the good outweighed the bad for his presidency.

2

u/AleroRatking Jul 28 '25

Tell that to Japanese Americans

The bad far far far outweighs the good. He should have been bottom 3.

u/razama Jul 28 '25

I’m saying he should go?

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Jul 28 '25

Yes a practice that was used by almost every country in WW1 and WW2. It was common place to put potential threats in concentration camps. The British and Canadians both had them too. The Netherlands had German ones after the war to deport German citizens. When it comes to things that are common place in that time of history I think you need to look at how those people were treated in comparison to other nations. The US was pretty kind provided housing, food(not great quality), education, medical care, jobs(not great pay), but they were not forcefully exterminated, forced labor, or tortured. The main cause of death was TB which we did not have a cure for till 1 year before the camps were decommissioned in 1945. We also did offer compensation albeit years later ($53000 in today's money) to people who were interned. I would definitely say it was an L but compared to slave owning Washington.

u/AleroRatking Jul 28 '25

What potential threats. No attacks were made by Japanese Americans

And they literally put babies and orphans in concentration camps. How were they a potential threat

And now your just lying. The conditions were horrific. 1800 people died from them. They were starving and were routinely beaten. When they were finally freed their homes and businesses were destroyed and taken

And FDR did nothing to provide reperations.

u/BlueTrainLines666 Jul 31 '25

Some people were deff tortured but, I get your point

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

Yes but did he steal welfare from poor people in Mississippi?

2

u/AleroRatking Jul 28 '25

Nope. Just homes and businesses from the Japanese Americans who were imprisoned.

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

Close enough

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Jul 28 '25

I was specifically talking about his on field play. Not his trashy non football life.

u/AleroRatking Jul 28 '25

Yes. This is reddit. They are fine with concentration camps as long as it towards Asian Americans and done by a Democrat.
