Pointing out the war crimes of #JimmyCarter is a good way to see how liberals like to ignore inconvenient truths as much as conservatives. They'll jump straight to "the left is never satisfied" or "something something Mugabe was evil too."

EDIT: Check out the replies for some "something something Putin" variants too

Meanwhile I've seen people saying things like "Carter fought hard for democracy globally" without the slightest hint of irony. Historical facts don't seem to mean much in the face of sentiments like "Bad at politics, good human, built homes."

It's important to recognize that Carter may have been better than presidents like Reagan, but he was still responsible for abhorrent crimes in service of capitalist imperialism.
