Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 weeks agoInteresting claim, the Great Man Theory of Neoliberalism.
Every lefty I know certainly can’t stop talking about how much they love Carter’s 1976 political platform, which everyone remembers and cares about.
So me saying don’t lionize Carter because he was a terrible president is the great man theory, when I’m literally saying Trump is not a special kind of unique evil…
You either don’t understand the words you’re using, or you’re purposefully being dishonest.

Before he died, people were always fawning over Carter. Don’t pretend that isn’t true. I always accrued downvotes for mentioning his crimes. Carter was a good person, on an individual level, but he was the first neoliberal president and the person you replied to was right to point it out.
