1890. It isn't FDR they are after it's Teddy. He was the radical. He was the one who said government should interfere with business. They want to take us back to the company store, Pinkertons using axe handles and shotguns on union organisers, robber barons, slums(they are all slumlords), and the absolute rule of the rich. My biggest fear is that the far left is right, that we are incapable of making this work and we need to dump it all.
