You can also research the unlikely chain of events that led to his cousin (fifth cousin, but still...), Teddy Roosevelt, becoming president. Very unlikely coincidences.
Huey Long was a threat to Roosevelt from the left - he was advocating for even more communism than FDR was, and a lot of FDR's programs were taken directly from Long's "Share Our Wealth" plan. His death was no loss.
My understanding was that he was still a communist piece of shit anyways, so I'm not exactly inclined to get mad that a war loving communist won versus a war hating communist.
Long perpetrated one of the biggest frauds in history at the time when he was alive. It still continues to this day and always will. His family and a few others are some of the richest people in Louisiana because of it. The link below just touches the surface of what they did. Seymour Weiss (not related to the assassin) was one of his main partners.
He also wanted to seize the money of the rich and pay a universal income to everyone regardless of whether they worked or not. It was called "share our wealth ".
An individual's right to wealth would be restricted to:
a maximum INHERITANCE of $5 million ($100 million in 2022);
a maximum annual INCOME of $1 million ($20 million, 2022);
and an individual's private WEALTH/FORTUNE to $50 million ($1 billion in 2022).
He was a corrupt piece of garbage who helped his business partner (Leander Perez) steal land for oil drilling from my ancestors. They're all hated in that area.
First and foremost, Long was a democrat, like Roosevelt. Unless Long was planning to switch parties, the only way he was "poised to beat Roosevelt" was if the DNC was planning on swapping out FDR for him as the Democrat nominee. FDR ran against Alf Landon in 1936 and beat him handily.
Second, World War II didn't happen until 1939, and the United States didn't enter until 1941. Saying that Long winning the 1936 election against a member of his own party would have prevented the US from entering WWII requires some serious Project Looking Glass levels of foresight.
Also shocker of shocks, the poster of this tweet is saying it would have prevented an alliance with the Judeo Bolsheviks and that a Jew named Carl Weiss assassinated Huey Long. Almost like they have an agenda they're trying to promote?
For the original tweeter and the OP here, at least fact check your shit before promoting blatant antisemitism.
Confirmed
Damn I was never even aware of this ..

Me neither. The stuff I learn here on GW...

Makes sense Roosevelt was a commie loving POS.

Huey Long was extremely corrupt. I'd be a no
To paraphrase cyberrigger, Huey Long is a goddamn communist.
Couple problems with that statement.

STOP NOOOOOOTICING!!!!!
I'm just wondering how long it will take for Curse to be denounced as being racist for pointing out the ethnicity of the assassin?
I just seen a show about this not l9ng ago on unsolved mysteries.
I forget what they said the reason was thought to be.
