I would go as far to argue that there really is no opposition today within mainstream US politics since they are all servants of wealthy parasites, oligarchs, & (((certain people))).
There were factions within the Democrat(ic) Party that believed FDR didn’t go far enough regarding SS, MW, and other laws. They were vocal and visceral in their criticisms.
I do not believe these factions “opposed” FDR. He had overwhelming support and the few groups that posed a threat to him (like Huey Long’s followers) were disposed of.
There was enormous opposition. The Rockefellers and DuPonts tried to recruit General Smedley Butler to stage a bloody military coup. Thats pretty extreme
