Im not going to be so quick to dismiss Mr. Spoils System Let the Supreme Court enforce the Worchester vs Georgia and screw the national bank from this particular conversation.
The fact that every other president would've been just as eager to do war crimes doesn't justify or absolve Bush of his war crimes in any way.
Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden would've all replicated each other's war crimes if they had a chance. That doesn't mean any of them get a free pass for the war crimes they did get the chance to do, its just a separate indictment for each.
Trump by a landslide
only people who say this don't realize how truly awful reagan made this country for the working classNah. I'd have been long adamant that W was worse than Trump and Reagan was even worse than W untill january 6 2021. That one singular event was so destructive to our own country that you have to go back to 1850s & 1860s to find shit to compare it to.
Trump might be a more selfish and outwardly distasteful individual, but Reagan doomed future generations of the working poor to near eternal poverty with very little hope of materially improving their lives
45 never happened, I take it?Vacant was the 45th POTUS. Slug Virus was prime lunatic of the United States.

I'm tired of people who don't know what they're talking about.
lol what
Slept through US History I did you?
the baseline for president is "war criminal" it ends up being measuring levels of evil and fun as that is, not exactly a productive task
not a single good person amongst them

Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter begs to differ.
Carter was the least violent of American presidents but he did things which I think would certainly fall under Nuremberg provisions. As the Indonesian atrocities increased to a level of really near-genocide, the U.S. aid under Carter increased. It reached a peak in 1978 as the atrocities peaked.
According to Noam Chomsky:I think that was more Suharto pulling the wool over his eyes than actual malice on Carter's part.
According to Noam Chomsky:Not exactly a great barometer.
Trump is the inevitable consequence of Reagan.This true. And the hardest part of this comparison, since we've had 4 decades to feel the effects of Reagan. Trump's won't be known for much longer. THAT SAID, the absurd rush to the Right/authoritarism, the damage to the US standing and it's institutions as whole, etc. show the massive amount of damage Trump has inflicted in a relatively short time. There's also the fact that Reagan was at least a real politician, who thought he was doing good. Trump may be the dumbest person on the planet.

According to Noam Chomsky:
Trump wouldn't exist without Reagan, I think we can all agree there.This. Hell, Trump ran on Raegans playbook for fucks sake. MAGA was literally Reagans slogan.
Reagan was the catalyst to America's decline.
Did Reagan have this same kind of cult level of loyalists? I wonder if all those people who voted for Reagan still believes in him to this day.

Andrew JohnsonJohnson laid the tracks for Reagan and Trump, he is a lesson on how Conservative appeasement is a direct pipeline to fascism.
Yes.
Reagan still has a huge fanbase, and not just for that monkey film.
I think even his most ardent supporters will admit that every film he did was shit.Knute Rockne is still a classic
Knute Rockne is still a classic
Reagan was worse
But Andrew Johnson is probably the worst of them all. Southern "Appeasement" and shitting on Reconstruction which set back black Americans getting rights by decades.
