That's also literally the reason why everything FDR got has been gutted and is largely gone. He didn't go about things properly. Instead of trying and hanging the people that plotted to overthrow him. He organized backroom deals allowing them to go free and undo everything he forced them to do.

The reason FDR's policies are being undone is we have no actual representation, just corporate capture. His polices remained firm till Buckley VS Valeo, the beginning of the end of our democracy.

The beginning was long before that. The beginning was when he didn't prosecute and punish his would be assassins. Letting them keep their seats in government to be the very ones to erode the small trinkets he won. Fighting dirty won't bring any lasting change. It needs the support of the people and a willingness to run and serve to protect it. He didn't have it then and we still don't have it now. So if a modern Democrat did happen to get something passed in an underhanded Way fighting dirty. It would be undone even faster. If you fight with a pig they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Or... the ones after him didn't bother to finish the job, because they wanted it to fail.

It's not like FDR was elected right before Reagan or something here.
