    Yes. Though they unfortunately were not stopped. Just largely delayed unfortunately. FDR playing fast and loose cut a lot of backroom deals which led to the temporary New Deal programs. Which were a great thing in the short term. But as a concession hr let a lot of the fascists go and kept a lot of the information from actually becoming public. And as a result. They’ve largely dismantled the new deal policies. And spent the last century simmering and growing stronger and stronger till we get where we are today. Butler was absolutely a hero though.

      Same shit every time. Bunch of Nazi scientists? Why prosecute when we can use them!

      I just don’t know anymore. Squash fascists and someone always finds a way to let way too many off the hook. Let them come into the open and we get… the nightmare timeline we’re in now (thanks Ms Schlafly).
