In Times of Crisis, Stand Firm Against Extremism

During a period marked by threats from Bolshevism, totalitarianism, and fascism, democratic capitalism faced intense scrutiny and opposition. Figures like Huey Long challenged Roosevelt from the left, while Wall Street bankers plotted to create a militarized force to overthrow him, viewing Roosevelt as a socialistic dictator. Despite the alarming political landscape, resilience from FDR and supporters was crucial in countering these extremist forces. The historical context underscores the necessity of steadfast leadership and collective resolve in navigating societal upheavals.
