The FDR 1936 reelection represented a generational sea change where Democrats won overwhelmingly (300+ to 60-70 Republicans), signifying the triumph of the New Deal and the emergence of a new generation's values—FDR explicitly framed this as generational conflict between old 'money changers' and a new generation believing in cooperation.
