I understand politics are a controversial topic, but I like to remind everyone to avoid name-calling and other uncivil behavior. Your comments will be removed.
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?
50 years? The presidents before him were Ford, Nixon and LBJ, so going back to Eisenhower at the least.
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.
They are cult members by default and always looking for a personality to follow. Bleating moron sheep
They are people with stories and struggles like everyone else.
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
Because he lacks the ability to think for himself and instead gets all his ideas from other jackass strong man types.
Fucking pathetic.

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 calculations behind the scenes to rally his own party much less unit both sides.
I vaguely know about 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 for his failure.
How do you think Jimmy carter failed to address these issues policy wise?
Read the post by TrippyFocus. I didn't realize it at the time, but he literally caused them.
Wow. You really drank the Kool aid hardcore didn't you?
Sad really, mental decline is a tragedy.
