“The man who actually WON World War 2 became president.”
I was but a pre-teen in that era and recall much of it. It was a very simple non-stressful era where things went of quite smooth. I do recall on the political front was a strong anti-communist trend nation wide.
And yes, Ike was President. I recall a school classmate who made the following remark: “They are making Eisenhower dolls, you wind them up and they do absolutely nothing”. He was obviously parroting a comment from his democrat dad.
The point to be made, is if everything is going smooth, what is there to do with regards to making new laws? Our national legislature does not have to be in the perpetual law making business that expands our government. Ike was a believer in small govt and he warned us of the military industrial complex. I’d say since he did little to nothing makes him a great President. Compared to Carter, where everything he did was wrong, and Ike was a super prez.
Now we need a president that will undo decades worth of leftism.
Like with Social Security? Medicare? Baby-killing? Those are totally addictive like cocaine or fentanyl for those who accepted and are in enmeshed in any of them (like me, for instance) without any other income.
