For what it is worth, something readers must decide if they care, the link.
The impression made with Crabgrass is that a counter "Think Tank" is at play. The right wingers have done Hoover Institute and such, to "legitimize" their war against the people in favor of Big Capital. With the 1% having their "Think Tank" propagandists, Fedearalist Society being the most egregious, a counter balance is needed. Back to FDR thinking and such actually is a good thing. It should be encouraged. Discourse only at the outer-right fringes of political thought has been the Bill and Hillary legacy. It stinks. It appalls too. It is bogus to narrow-spectrum choices via propaganda and money both piled onto those wanting to have a dumb and pliant electorate, or to so turn off sane voters that they don't bother anymore. Getting the "don't bother anymore" mentality entrenched has been a giant victory for the forces of evil.
Links related to the gist of this post: The Appeal, posting a recent item about committee assignments used by leadership to shape things. Then there is Georgia Voters Overwhelmingly Support Direct Stimulus Payments - The Justice Collaborative Institute (tjcinstitute.com). Last, the institute homepage, The Justice Collaborative Institute (tjcinstitute.com).
The idea has been to tersely narrow linking with the idea readers can go from there to further detail and thought.
Somebody has to do a better job than The Heritage Foundation, (remember, slavery and racism are as much a part of national heritage as the film, Birth of a Nation, which in early twentieth century film genre was both a format leader for western galloping horse chase scene cliche as well as a promotion of the Klan as good citizenship).
FDR as heritage; good. Gipper and the Clintons as heritage; bad. Owned bad.
The propagandists seized upon a general mood impression that the "American Heritage" could be packaged and marketed and sold as a 1% means to conduct an intellectual coup against simple common sense. It worked. Trump being believed by those not atop the economic spectrum, while serving that top bloc, being but a recent example of Big Lie selling big. Read some of the linked stuff and see what you think.
