Would you have said this about Nixon and Thatcher, too? I certainly remember the "Nixon was good actually and the people who criticize him on his deathbed are ghouls" brigade, too, as they were rushing out media products based on how wonderful and wise Nixon was.
You shouldn't let other people's feelings about political figures upset you so much.
- Spooky23 4y agoNixon was a different character. He was a flawed genius, with his paranoia and alcoholism impacting his legacy. Carter didn’t have the temperament to be a president in his age. He was a flawed president, but a great man. He grew from failure and used his talents and pulpit to advance humanity in a small way. There’s a difference and when you look at figures in history in leadership, it happens.
- pessimizer 4y agoI like Carter. Amazing ex-president. We aren't required to make him into a good president to say that he was a great humanitarian post-presidency. We especially shouldn't be shaming people who think that what he did in the few years he was in the most important position on the planet outweigh anything he could have done as a private citizen.
