    Would you stay married to a person who threw 100,000 innocent people into concentration camps? I wouldn’t. Given this quote, it doesn’t appear that Eleanor practices what she preaches.

    Id go as far as to say FDR was an objectively worse person than McCarthy. Communism is a choice. Japanese descent is not. Blacklisting, while horrible, is not as bad as having your property seized and being thrown in a concentration camp.

        Know a lot about marriage in 1942?

        I know that the US lead the world in number of divorces as early as 1916

        Or Eleanor Roosevelt?

        I know that quote makes her a huge fucking hypocrite if she stayed married to a man who seized the property of 100,000 innocent people and sent them to concentration camps

            Time is never going to convince me that throwing 100,000 American citizens in concentration camps was anything other than horrendous and unforgivable.

              It won’t, but you might develop some new insights about marriage or Eleanor Roosevelt.

                Sure. And while I’m doing that, perhaps you can consider that people might disagree with you for reasons other than ignorance, and work on that arrogant self righteous thing you’ve got going on.
