Would you stay married to a person who threw 100,000 innocent people into concentration camps? I wouldn’t. Given this quote, it doesn’t appear that Eleanor practices what she preaches.
Id go as far as to say FDR was an objectively worse person than McCarthy. Communism is a choice. Japanese descent is not. Blacklisting, while horrible, is not as bad as having your property seized and being thrown in a concentration camp.
I know that the US lead the world in number of divorces as early as 1916
Or Eleanor Roosevelt?
I know that quote makes her a huge fucking hypocrite if she stayed married to a man who seized the property of 100,000 innocent people and sent them to concentration camps
Eleanor Roosevelt was substantially richer than her husband, and became a UN delegate in 1945. She would have been fine. This isn’t a woman who would have ended up eating cat food, even back then.

in statesia women could not have bank accounts without male cosigners until 1974
It’s more nuanced than that and you know it

Well, when time changes your mind, it’s okay.
You are arguing with someone that thinks Obama and Bush are the exact same.
Time is never going to convince me that throwing 100,000 American citizens in concentration camps was anything other than horrendous and unforgivable.
It won’t, but you might develop some new insights about marriage or Eleanor Roosevelt.
