I just noticed that, in his all four presidential campaigns, FDR never carried his home Dutchess County, NY

1932:

Hoover: 54.95%
FDR: 43.47%

1936:

Landon: 53.12%
FDR: 45.02%

1940:

Willkie: 55.69%
FDR: 44.1%

1944:

Dewey: 58.92%
FDR: 40.8%

Well, of course Roosevelt was universally hated by members of his sociological class. Rightfully so, if I must say. Tongue

FDR was really annoyed by their stance. "I saved their sorry asses", he said, rightfully as well.

There's a book about him titled Traitor to His Class for a reason.

And FDR did not consider himself a traitor to his class. He considered himself their savior (by saving and reforming American capitalism). That was one of things that really pissed him off.

Didn't he also said something like "I'm pleased by their hatred" or something like that ?
