Not quite accurate. I see The Big Guy as the love child of Carter,McGovern and Saul Alinsky.

It’s worse than Carter and the 70s.

For example, at least Carter put the illegal Cubans in camps to be processed back to Cuba.

And his brother Billy’s scandal is nothing like the Hunter-Joe-China and the Hunter-laptop scandal.

And facism on the way to communism is being pushed by hidden hands through a puppet, a Trojan horse with dementia.

carter was a piker compared to biden. biden is way better at f’ing things up.

the increase in price of fossil fuel is intentional to make the fairy tale solar and wind seem competitive

I’d say more like the new Kruschev - trying to destroy us from within.

I don’t care what the WaPo says, even when it’s right(ish). And I’m ALWAYS skeptical about motives.

I never thought Carter was evil, just incompetent.

Brandon, on the other hand...

Agreed. Carter was incompetent. But he was also a patriot. Perhaps his greatest sin was that he was naive. Biden is in a different category altogether.

Biden is just a sad, old puppet. His handlers are calling all the shots. And those handlers are not naive. They mean to fundamentally transform this country. And their plan is working.

Jimmy Carter was a liberal and not a very strong personality. But underneath it all, he was still a decent god fearing man.

Biden is none of those things.

Carter tried to govern, Biden and his mob intend to rule with an iron fist. They will never let go of power, until they are forced.

No reason that one can’t be a good Christian and an incompetent oaf. I know a few.

To his credit, Carter nailed that tennis court schedule. Nailed it!

The Big Guy is a partisan Democrat, and partisan Democrats have changed. In contrast to Obama and the Clintons, Biden didn’t go through anything approaching a radical phase. He just says — or struggles to say — what his handlers tell him. You can view his administration as a mixture of McGovern and Alinsky, but that’s because of his programmers. The Jimmy Carter is all Biden’s own.

Has the WaPo been ordered to make the transfer to Heel Up Harris less revolting?

Carter was incompetent, but he was a nuclear Navy officer and loved the USA.

Biden is a hard-core communist bent on destroying the USA.

While the results may be the similar in some areas (such as energy), Biden has the pedal to the metal in so many other devastating ways. Carter’s AG never went after American moms and dads as “domestic terrorists.”

In a slight defense of Jimmy carter, he did deregulate the trucking industry. That’s what got me where I am.

The parrallels are striking however there's a distinct difference:

Jimmy Carter was just flat out incompetent.

Biden's incompetent and being used as an empty vessel to carry out the plan from the progressive left to destroy the country and re-make it under a communist model.

Once people finally accept that fact, everything that's going on in the country now makes sense.
