I think one of the biggest differences between then and now is that the population doesn't live in the same "version of reality." Back with FDR people were all essentially on the same page and could unite as they shared a common understanding of their issues. With all the myriad forms of media and technology working to keep us essentially living in different worlds the capacity to unite has been utterly decimated, by design of course.

Sometimes shit is bad, sometimes it's good. But it can always get better and it can always get worse. A huge problem here is people aren't looking on a long enough timeline while oligarchs can afford to.
There's literally a thing where resource scarcity hinders our ability is plan ahead and that being exploited isn't new.
