Evidence

Under the heading usurper complex', Adorno gave a pointed example of the way in which the fascist character had a correct instinct for joining the ranks of the rebels against democratic civilization and identifying with stronger forces. People whose thoughts focused on power and violence saw Roosevelt's policies as a distinct form of dictatorship, but nevertheless failed to give him wholehearted support. Adorno tried to explain this by saying that the Roosevelt administration was never really strong enough in their view. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1796</cite> (#corroborates`, via linked claim)
