My dad would sometimes loudly comment within earshot of my great-grandmother, “Well, this is a woman who voted for FDR four times” in a derisive fashion, and if she was feeling spicy, she’d yell “I’d have voted for him a fifth time too!”
I once read a book about advertising and public relations.
One of the stories was that FDR personally destroyed the cigarette holder industry.
Cigarette holders were very popular with the rich and wannabes. But as FDR became more and more hated by the rich, stopped using the holders because the holders reminded the rich folks of ‘that man.’
Not even MAGAts, my great grandmother allegedly hated FDR so much she refused to utter his name or refer to him as the President.
