That's not a picture of Woodrow Wilson.

He's not as bad as people say he was.

This guy knows

He wan't, just bad shit happened to him outside of his control that hurt his popularity

He's not even as bad as George W, but he wasn't good.

But neither are as bad as people like Buchanan or Harding

no

Carter actually kept government growth at bay and deregulated massive portions of our economy much more so than Reagan, who grew the government at an unprecedented rate despite somehow getting this made up thrown of a true conservative

some libertarians think carter was much more conservative in practice than any president since coolidge and that the good economy under Reagan was due to Carters deregulations, not anything Reagan did.

*throne

This is true.

It's also not a photo of Grant, or FDR, or Obama, or Johnson.

Carter wasn't great but he was about the best we had at the time. He was an honest and straightforward guy, was probably happy to gtfo of the white house and put together his Habitat For Humanity charity (an actual charity that helps Americans).

he wasnt

He wasn't, Johnson was.

Carter was incompetent and the victim of unfortunate circumstances.

Johnson was basically the devil.

the worse President is by far Trump

>furiously googles "historical rankings of presidents" and copy pastes a few to sound smart

Wilson was a huge racist, even for the era

Here's what I'd tell a big guy like you to do:
Just vote for Marine Le Pen, okay?

You have to be pretty fucking appalling to be a Democratic President in the modern era who's remembered as bad by the normie media

>Harding
HIDF here, he dindu nuffin wrong, just got blamed for shit. If Harding were legit the worst of all time, he wouldn't have been smart enough to realize it and say he was unfit for the job and didn't want it.

Because he was a fucking pussy.

His foreign policy was the typical liberal bullshit that people continue to say today.

>if we just be nice to our enemies and give them what they want, we'll achieve peace

This is why no one over 21 takes Libertarians seriously

Shit economy + Iran hostage crisis. OTOH, he got Israel to bend the knee and started the economic liberalization that would increase dramatically under Reagan.

This, there are liberals who are butthurt to this day about Carter's airlines deregulation.

You're so delusional if you think the world is better now than it was under carter

>Wilson was a huge racist, even for the era
Where do you think you are?

The founding fathers were all paleoconservative libertarians, but whatever.

>This, there are liberals who are butthurt to this day about Carter's airlines deregulation.
Top kek, I forgot about this. There are a couple of those in my extended family.

That's not how you spell LBJ.

Like that great paleo-libertarian icon Jefferson, who built a standing defence force and use executive power to grow the nation, right?

>It is the idea which founded our nation and has guided our development as a people. Confidence in the future has supported everything else -- public institutions and private enterprise, our own families, and the very Constitution of the United States. Confidence has defined our course and has served as a link between generations. We've always believed in something called progress. We've always had a faith that the days of our children would be better than our own.

>Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in the ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy. As a people we know our past and we are proud of it. Our progress has been part of the living history of America, even the world...But just as we are losing our confidence in the future, we are also beginning to close the door on our past.

>In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.

>What you see too often in Washington and elsewhere around the country is a system of government that seems incapable of action. You see a Congress twisted and pulled in every direction by hundreds of well-financed and powerful special interests. You see every extreme position defended to the last vote, almost to the last breath by one unyielding group or another. You often see a balanced and a fair approach that demands sacrifice, a little sacrifice from everyone, abandoned like an orphan without support and without friends

I'm a libertarian, not an autist, learn the difference.

And Jefferson gets a pass for being hooked on opium most of his life, dude didn't know what he was doing.

>Habitat for Humanity
>Charity

I worked on a few builds. It was always Somalians or Haitians who got the house, which they pay full price for. It's part of the immigration industry.

And you're 12 if you think it isn't.

Correction: He was only the worst president until a few years ago. But in 2008 I only expected Obama to be as bad as Carter, and not include Dubya's and Nixon's badness too.

I was still a kid then, but there were a lot of reasons.

>The so-called "Energy Crisis", which was really the Saudis feeling their economic power, combined with price controls in the US that resulted in a gasoline shortage, though I understand that part started under Nixon. (note that the file name says 1973) Carter just didn't make it any better.
>Banning breeder reactors because they could make EEEEEEEVIL proliferation if Bad Guys got their hands on the unreprocessed fuel (needs too much reprocessing to be useful for more than a dirty bomb). He worked the reactor of a ship in a navy, so that made him a "stayed at a Holiday Inn" expert.
>the failed hostage rescue, with helicopters failing because they couldn't handle the desert dust

And apparently he owed so much to so many people who supported him to become president that he couldn't make them all happy by trying to push laws that (((they))) wanted. So he just ended up doing a bunch of stuff that nobody liked.

>paleoconservative libertarians
No they were constitutionalists, oyveyburgertarianism didn't exist back then and neither did socialism.

If you weren't an autist you would understand Reagan's government growth was to defeat the USSR

You don't consider the constitution a libertarian document? It was a radical document that guaranteed a great deal of personal liberty, drawn up as a reaction to British fuckery like "general warrants" (that gave us the 4th amendment).

Several 19th century presidents were worse.

James Buchanan is infinitely worse. Motherfucker's legacy is letting half the country up and leave.

Honorable mention: Herbert Hoover

>Herbert Hoover
Blame it all on Hoover desu.

You're goddamn right. He was fucking awful. Literally an anti leader.
