It’s interesting because it was after my time but hindsight kind of showed he was right in principal but wasn’t a great statesman and couldn’t do the political calculationing behind the scenes to rally his own party much less unit both sides.
I vaguely know about the Ollie North and how the hostage situation before his second election run sabotaged his campaign but that seems to be more a nail in the coffin rather than the only reason.

People hate Jimmy Carter?

My dad does and I’ve never been able to get him to give me an actual reason why. Like most of his shitty opinions
Cybermonk_Taiji@r.nf 2 years ago
Because he lacks the ability to think for himself and instead gets all his ideas from other jackass strong man types.
Fucking pathetic.

He was best by one of the most popular presidents of all time. Hindsight being what it is, he was best by on if the most destructive presidents of all time.

I’d like to remind everyone to avoid name-calling and other uncivil behavior. Your comments will be removed.

Said the Simpsons, sarcastically.

Jimmy Carter was the best person the states have had as president in the last fifty years at least.
Then we go and vote Ronald Reagan in after.
What’s with Republicans and voting for celebrities?

They like to be spoken AT, not spoken WITH?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Why do you capitalize words like that?

He was a good human being, but I don’t think anyone would call him a good president.

What was wrong with what he did?

America at that time was very conservative. Then Nixon was exposed as a criminal and Ford pardoned him, which was a hell of a one-two punch to the psychy of your average American at the time.
So the next guy the got to vote for was the most Christian innocent candidate they could get their hands on. But that’s now who they really wanted. They loved Nixon, everything about him, they just didn’t like that he to ot exposed as a criminal.
So then comes Ronald Reagan, the actor.

50 years? The presidents before him were Ford, Nixon and LBJ, so going back to Eisenhower at the least.
