Jimmy Carter : The Most [Unfairly] Hated President of the United States - Documentary - Lemmy.World

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?
Why do you capitalize words like that?
For emphasis, it's a common practice in online text communication.
My university English professor would literally shit herself to see that.
Oh lord. Better not show her then.
She has IBS so she shit herself a couple times throughout the year.
I’d think at university you’d learn the difference between formal and informal communication, but I’ve learned a lot about the quality of the education system after teaching a few years.

Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.

It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.

and what the hell’s with that capital T in the middle of youTube?

Don’t even get me started about McDonald’s.

Every time I eat there it’s like I have IBS.

I blame society

I see what you did there.

It was very clever.

How’s that working out for you, being clever?

Some days
some days
you?
Drugs help, but meth and fent only get you so far in life.
I was going to say don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, but meth and fent oof. If you’re being serious, sorry you’re going through a rough patch. Getting off fent was crazy hard.

It’s not a rough patch, but thanks for your concern.

Impressive going from junkie to teacher!

It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.

The t might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.

Does she have IBS otherwise that would be a stupid reason to shit yourself.

No she doesn’t.

She just had a healthy respect for the English language.

and so she would LITERALLY shit herself? Not figuratively? Interesting.
Yes because she had IBS and she shit herself a couple times that year.
so, because she had IbS and not from LOOKING at caPitalized woRDs?

A couple times it was IBS and there was one time that she got really worked up about a girl writing like that.

She told us it was an IBS flare up but we didn’t believe her.

Why are you so invested in my professor’s bowel movements?

Do you have a scat fetish?

a COUPLE times she shat HERSELF? And ONE time she GOT WORKED UP but didn’t shit herself?

Sounds like someone is telling tales out of school.

also, don’t kinkshame, removed.

Wow, I’d hate to see your unedited original comment.

Anyways we’re done here, have a nice day.

can’t use the full word fggt here, it’s auto censored, you shitstain.
Why do you fucking exist at all?
As far as I can tell mostly to eat buckets of KFC spicy chicken.
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.

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?

I don’t recall the details, but the economy wasn’t doing great and I don’t think anything he did helped. Inflation was really bad.

I’m sure he did good things, but I think that’s what he’s remembered for - that and the whole Iran hostage crisis thing.

I never heard about him taking hostages.
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.
Remembering the Real Jimmy Carter

Now that Jimmy Carter has been placed in hospice care the countdown has begun. A countdown not only to his imminent demise, but also to the flood of hagiographic articles portraying the former president as the nation’s kindly grandfather. A modern saint who found his way through the corrupt world of American politics without losing his moral compass, only to go on after his one term in office to build homes for Habitat for Humanity rather than cash-in on expensive public speaking appearances or book deals like some other presidents – though Carter quietly did that as well.

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.

Fucktards, yeah.
He was beat by one of the most popular presidents of all time. Hindsight being what it is, he was beat by one of the most destructive presidents of all time.
Sure grampa, let’s get you back to bed.
Sure are a lot of Reagan defenders around here.
He did facilitate genocide
Get fucked loser
Taking a break from letting your mother rim me, actually. But thanks anyways.

“He’s history’s greatest monster!”

Said the Simpsons, sarcastically.

My father is a lifelong democrat. My mother is a naturalized citizen from Great Britain. I was in high school during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. I was mocked in high school for making a presentation where I advocated for disarmament.

All that being said, the presidency of Jimmy Carter was one of the scariest and most upsetting presidencies I can remember. I had never experienced inflation of that level before. The gas rationing and concern about whether we were going to have the means to carry out the basic functions we needed to complete was real. It was the first experience we had with worldwide terrorism, and there were over 300 Americans being held hostage in a foreign land with no sign of progress.

Jimmy Carter was no doubt a good man. I believe he was woefully underqualified to run the country. I know that he is lauded these days, but I’m telling you from the perspective of someone who lived through his presidency, it was not a good time for me or my family.

As one of the posts here makes clear, he wasn’t even good from a Democrat point of view.

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.

Wow. You really drank the Kool aid hardcore didn’t you?

Sad really, mental decline is a tragedy.

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.
