Carter, who lived longer than any other U.S. president, entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia in February 2023 after a series of short hospital stays.
I wanna say a bunch of sappy shit but nothing sounds right. God I wish there were more good people in positions of power. Thanks for all you did President Carter.
He spoke to the American public like they were intelligent caring individuals. And they despised him for it. Immediately, overwhelmingly electing a huckster charlatan that told them they were all wonderful and perfect little children. Many of whom still worship that man to this day. With Trump being his second coming.
We truly never deserved jimmy. But we still desperately need someone like him to this day.
The media had a big hand in Reagan being elected over Carter. Every newscast every night had a clock on the number of days the US hostages were held by the Iranians. This was a constant reminder on what was perceived as Carter’s failure. So much so, that Reagan sent George Scholtz, to Iran to make a deal for them to keep the hostages until after the election. Which was the begining of Iran-Contra. Anyway, that was the real reason.
I can count how many I respect in the U.S. on one hand. It’s… Something I try not to think about these days.
Everything is in decline, the ignorant just don’t know it yet… And there’s no way out for those of us stuck in this system. The wealthy can buy their bunkers, but the rest of us will live it.
Elon, Jeff, Trump… They are making a world they will never have to live in.

Yep. Perception shapes reality for most unfortunately. For all his actual failings however. He was ridiculously better than everyone after him.
Well let’s just overlook all that because

There’s also the Carter Center, which does some work that seems increasingly important what with the attacks against free elections lately across the world.
