Bernie Sanders on what Trump has done right: "cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate."
The American senator, previously known for his left-wing politics, has supported a bill introduced by Lindsey Graham and other war hawks that calls for moves that would essentially destroy Gaza economically and plunge the population into a deadly famine, all under the guise of “eliminating Hamas”.
"This plan is the only defense this country's got against communism" - Huey Long
And FDR adopted a bunch of Long's proposals into the Second New Deal.
Long was a bit of a complicated guy, but some of his biggest critics back in the day were communists. He used unpaid prison labor to help build a gigantic mansion for himself, and he only payed is bridge and road construction workers 3/4's what the federal government recommended.
I'm aware he wasn't exactly a socialist, or someone beyond criticism, but he was the most effective left-wing politician in American history.
