Governor Eugene Talmadge on the New Deal 1936

[@AidenRKrone]

If the modern Democratic Party still had people like Gene Talmadge, Jim Eastland, and Ted Bilbo in their ranks, I'd support them and vote for their presidential candidate in a heartbeat.

He's talking bad about the new deal as if Georgia didnt vote for Roosevelt by over 80%

[@thomaswatson1739]

Which is why he lost the 1936 & 38' races for the US Senate. He wasn't the "demagogue " he's made out to be as he took a unpopular stand on Roosevelt and the New Deal.

If the 19th century had gone on for another 100 years, Eugene Talmadge might have had a point. The problem is that the U.S. ran head-on into the complexities of modern industry, finance, and war between 1900 and 1945--and if there had been no strong federal government keeping things reasonably centered, the state of Georgia and the rest of the country might well have ended up like third world republics.
