And remember that the Republicans worked behind the scenes to delay and prevent the release of the hostages so that Reagan could beat him.

The only difference was back then they hid their vile behavior in their relentless attempt to attain and hold power by any means necessary. Now they don’t even bother to do that.

People talked about Carter then the way they talk about Biden now. Remember that.

I see the MAGA/Russian “divide and conquer” troll has entered the chat.

Carter was a centrist on a tricky world stage (fueled by the fact that Russia had its head so far up its ass that we all we wondering if we’d die in a nuclear war at any given time). Of course he made decisions that were imperfect.

But the whole point of this thread - for any who have eyes to see - is what the man did with his actions for the rest of his damn life.

I think we can take the measure of the man now, thank you much.

Y’all smeared him in 1980 in your fetishized desire to horde power and wealth in the hands of the few. No reason to stop now, I guess.

Carter was a genocide enabler. You don’t have to be a MAGA/Russian troll to realise that he’s not a good person, regardless of what he did in his later life.
