I don't know, he really went out of his way with the Dearborn Independent poo poo. It's not like he cracked Jew jokes at dinner now and then, he made an enormous effort to defame Jews.

Nah, he was real anti-Semitic, even for the time, to the point that car dealers were actively pressuring him to stop because it was hurting business.

Franklin was saying "having a national bird is stupid" in a roundabout way, rather than seriously supporting turkeys.

Sadly Welsh Corgis are British and you'd get a lot of flack from nationalists if we tried that, both from the states (Corgis ain't even American!) and the Brits (You're stealing our queen's doggies!)

Other than that though...110% behind the idea of the Corgi Dollar.

Yeah. Walt Disney was no more racist or antisemitic than the mainstream at the time. Henry Ford put out newsletters about how the international Jewish conspiracy was the greatest problem the world faced.

Yeah, let's say on our very currency that our best days are behind us.

US currency follows a very standardized system where the front is a famous US figure (not even a President) and the back is a building important to the US government or the founding thereof.

That's a very rude way to refer to FDR. His cousin even helped set up an agency dedicated to, among other things, making sure you weren't eating human feces anymore.

He was asked what woman he'd put on the bill.

Which means he can't think of a single notable American woman.
