Abstract

The success of liberal ideas under U.S. Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman was too gratifying to be deep. Hunger and hardship forced the people to try U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's in 1932; the depression gave him his mandate, the war helped keep him in. It is not so clear why U.S. President Harry S. Truman won, but in two terms under the popular U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower the Republicans could not even suggest repealing liberal programs. The author does not think this means that the American people have been deeply liberalized; they have maintained large reservations about liberal reasonings and analyses.
