My blue collar dad despised Roosevelt. I can see why. My dad was drafted into the Army right after Pearl Harbor , He told his close friend at the Ford plant in Chester, PA not to join the Marines , His friend wound up dead on the first Marine Corps beach assault.
It may have been Jim Maars who wrote that during FDR's tenure 321 communists were working in government agencies close to Roosevelt.

Yes! Three come immediately to mind: Henry Wallace, FDRs VP 1941 to 1945;
Harry Hopkins FDRs "Lend-Lease" CZAR who controlled billions of dollars (without Congressional oversight); and Rexford Tugwell, who managed to totally screw up US farming and food production, causing shortages and high prices; and John Kenneth Galbraith who FDR made his FOOD STAMPS CZAR - who instituted food RATIONING and the ubiquitous coupons books for everything.
As for FDR, who stated the the USA could "get along" with "Uncle Joe" (STALIN), during FDRs 2nd term in 1938, a Congressman - Martin Dies a Texas Democrat - Chaired the "House Committee on Un-American Activities" investigating Communist infiltration into the US federal government.
The President of the USA - Franklin Delano Roosevelt - told Congressman Dies to "KNOCK IT OFF! - I have friends who are Communists".
