The Republicans Castellanos represents represent the subset of Americans FDR referred to in a conversation with friend's, recalled by Rexford G, Tugwell, in 1932:
"There was latent, he thought, not far below the uneasy surface of our disrupted society, an impulse among a good many "strong" men, men used to having their way, mostly industrialists who directed affairs without being questioned, a feeling that democracy had run its course and that totalitarians had grasped the necessities of the time. People wanted strong leadership; they were sick of uncertainty, anxious for security, and willing to trade liberty for it."
Beware the apparent reasonableness of Mr Castellanos comments.
(the quote comes from page 38 of the hardbound version of Richard Connaughton's "MacArthur and Defeat in the Philippines")
