This is simply untrue. Lincoln was based AF.

And, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

FDR was almost SocDem. Grading on a curve for segregation, but that’s not too bad considering what the German and Greek SocDems wanted to do at the time!

See? That’s two whole presidents.

Every progressive policy that fdr pushed for was drafted and written by his openly socialist Secretary of Labor, Francis Perkins.

I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermingling with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior. I am as much as any other man in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.

Abraham Lincoln October 13, 1858

Not based AF

  I think ending chattel slavery in America gets you significant based bonus points, as does actually listening to your socialist advisors, which is something that stopped happening in America after him.

    The 14th amendment insured chattel slavery did not end, it merely redefined it.
    
    FDR also created internment (concentration) camps
