Truman didn't like the red scare though, also FDR and LBJ both have some very good and very bad things about them, without FDR's policies thigs might have been far worse, no Social Security without, something Trump wants to scrap.
Many retirees are actually losing their life savings because Social Security doesn't work. All it is good for nowadays is tracking every American citizen with an ID number.
Okay fine, we repeal it and all the sudden every retired person who doesn't have a plan is stuck and will have to live with a relative, Republicans want that because they only want Rich people to live or something, But I don't like Democrats either, their War and trouble makers.
My view of Government is that they all are bad, none are right on everything and all are non christian, and if its not Christian its of the Devil, I'm not saying fight it, were told to not do so.
That's your opinion of governments and morality, you are entitled to it, and you are entitled to disagree with it just as much as I disagree with you. It's wonderful that we live in a country where we are entitled to argue and don't have to recite the same propaganda.
Oh I admit We do have some free speech but not like were the only ones.
I completely agree. Respresentational Democracy does not work in my opinion; I much prefer the idea of Direct Democracy. I live in the hope that one day, some one will work out a way to implement Direct Democracy across the globe.
I feel like a republic is actually the best form of government, because the person in power is an experienced person.
*Stares at USA* Experienced, maybe. A suitable person, no way.

Because FDR was a hardline socialist who tried to illegally seize industries with quiet executive orders and put an entire race of US citizens in camps because of their ethnicity.
Truman was a hardline anti-communist who advocated actions against them that I don't even think were rational.
The concentration camps were a really bad thing, and while FDR did have a lot of cons, I feel like they were outweighed by his pros.

Not to support the internment of Japanese-Americans during the time, but the phrase "concentration camp" is generally reserved for describing the camps the Nazis built for the Jews, gays, gypsies, etc. because it implies an intent for genocide. Just wanted to point it out; I don't have a problem with you calling them either.
Yes, the internment camps were by no means good, but at least they weren't that bad. Although, a poll at the time showed that 13% of Americans would actually have supported the extermination of all Japanese.

That's not really what the point of a republic is. After all, Trump got elected and he has no previous political experience.
A republic is designed so that it is:
-More effective to vote (You elect people to vote for you as opposed to voting directly) -Harder to fix (Since one person doesn't equal one vote, you'd have to realistically go to the representative, and government officials in significant spots like that are generally less open to bribes) -Not decided by big pockets of people that generally have the same beliefs. New York and Los Angeles, both majority liberal, for example.
Still, I would agree that it is the best form of government for the above reasons. Direct democracies usually work effectively with no larger than maybe 1000 people.
That 3rd point has nothing to do with being a republic. That comes from the electoral college system. And ever since the Gilded Age, bribing politicians has been far too common. But other than that, I agree with you.

Before social security, the elderly poor lived under the care of their family and/or the church. It worked pretty well. Republicans clearly don't want "only rich people to live," so maybe there's reasoning in there that you haven't seen.
