Republicans really, really want Biden to be the new Jimmy Carter

The victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan, along with the sometimes-chaotic withdrawal of American forces from that country, has produced a gusher of conservative commentary comparing President Joe Biden to his 1970s Democratic predecessor, Jimmy Carter. "This is Joe Biden's Jimmy Carter Moment" the New York Post declared. "He is like Jimmy Carter on acid," Meghan McCain, the former TV host, announced on Twitter. The conservative Washington Examiner had two different columnists connect the legacies of Biden and Carter in recent weeks, but that was restrained compared to the Wall Street Journal, where opinion pieces identifying Biden-Carter similarities have become almost routine.

Needless to say, Fox News has also jumped on the Biden-Carter bandwagon.

Well at least Carter was not a child molester....as far as I know but a horribly incompetent president. He should have stuck to Peanut farming. Biden on the other hand is/was not even a good farmer...never had a real job and still don't.

This is true, misguided as it was.

“plus, despite his many faults, Carter didn’t hate America.”

He also was not corrupt like Biden, did not cheat on his wife, served in the military, and took random questions from the press.

The writer forgot the coming hyperinflation, and gas prices/energy starvation. And the coming China attack on Taiwan.

Biden is Carter^4

At least Carter I think believed in America, Biden hates it.

It’s true. I really wish Biden was Carter, but that ain’t gonna happen. Biden is at least 10 times worse.

Biden hates it.

He and the people around him. "Build back better" means "Tear it all down first."

Why would we want BiteMe to move up 10 levels to the Jimmy Carter level?

He is trying his best. But we may end up hoping he was as good as Carter.

Carter was young, smart, and an easily misguided but fundamentally good person. I don’t think Biden is the new Jimmy Carter.

Carter was mostly incompetent (but did manage to get Israel and Egypt to make peace), but a lot of his problems were inherited. Inflation was already a problem for Nixon and Ford (remember Ford’s WIN buttons?) and other countries also had high inflation at the time. Most of Biden’s problems are ones he created—he inherited a relatively secure situation at the border and turned it into a disaster. He screwed up Trump’s plan to get out of Afghanistan. His policies have created high gas prices and the worst inflation in decades. Biden created disasters. Carter just didn’t know how to solve ones he inherited. Of course he did mishandle Iran but it’s hard to say if any outside power could have stopped the ayatollahs from taking over.

It’s actually frustrating not to be able to gloat over this miserable failure. But one can’t, unless loss of innocent life means nothing.

No, we didn’t want this to happen, but we knew it would. What form it was going to take was not knowable, but bad stuff was guaranteed to happen when a demented man was foisted on this nation as leader. (I do not use the P word to describe him.)

And, based on the way things are going so far, it’s gonna get worse. Certainly worse for people in Afghanistan, and likely worse for people here. And I’m not talking about the price at the pump either.

Biden would have to climb a considerable ways to be Jimmy
Carter. Carter at least had a functioning brain, even if
it was stuck on stupid.

Biden needs someone close by to tell him which foot to move
next when walking.

Biden is just pathetic. Carter at least had some integrity.

The Assistant Democrats? They just don’t want their gravy train getting rocked. They don’t care one whit what Biden is doing to the country or there would be 25A pressure from that side of the aisle 24/7.

As for Carter, Biden’s likely going to be the worst modern President, and Obama was a tough act to follow since he was worse than Carter.

However, he may be competing with Andrew Johnson as all-time worst. The W.O.A.T if you will.
