Carter was a a good person and put forth good policies.

That’s why he’s seen as weak by everyone including democrats/left. Good policy and good actions make everyone feel bad about themselves. Carter also asked Americans to make sacrifices and inconveneince themselves for the greater good… which is a huge political no no. Americans love convenience above all else and gladly sacrifice their children’s happiness for lower taxes and cheaper gas.

Part of what makes Trump so popular is his unhinged assholery makes people feel good because he gives them permission to embrace their shittier selves.
