I also remember the gas lines. Carter was the last Democrat I voted for. The Muereil boat lift was the biggest mess imaginable. Castro told Americans they could come and get relatives out of Cuba. Carter let people take their boats down to get relatives out of Cuba. Castro loaded their boats with criminals and the criminally insane . We had a crime wave following that. During the middle of the boat lift Carter told people they could go then reversed course and said they couldn’t go, then it was a go etc. People that got confused etc had their bats seized. The boats were tied together and the wind, waves and storms beat the boats into useless. It was an absolute disaster. I remember a news casts showing the confiscated boats being destroyed. Millions of dollars worth of boats destroyed.
I was 16 at the time of the long gas lines and had just received my drivers’ license.
My dad said if I wanted to drive the car, I had to fill it with gas - I well remember those long lines.
I too voted for Cater the first time I voted, I’d just turned 19 and the voting laws had just changed to allow 18 year olds to vote for the first time, lowered from age 21. Never voted Democrat again, and I vote religiously for the smallest of elected offices.
Now the Dems want to lower the age to 16 - Why? Because at that age most of us are stupid and haven’t lived in the real world, paying taxes, etc.
The parallels between Carter and Biden are gross eneptitude and incompetence.
