Biden Is Not Jimmy Carter & This Is Not the 1970s

There’s a long-standing tradition among conservative pols and gabbers to compare every Democratic president to Jimmy Carter. It’s hardly surprising: Carter was the first and last sitting Democratic president since the 19th century to lose a general election. His presidency, moreover, led to a sort of Republican golden age with the landslide election (and 49-state reelection) of Ronald Reagan and the first Republican-controlled Senate since the early 1950s. It was natural for many pundits to compare the southern governor Bill Clinton and the foreign-policy novice Barack Obama to the 39th president, and Republicans, of course, loved to point to signs (falsely) indicating that both these men would be one-term presidents.

Excuses excuses.

[alternatives?]

He is worse.

[proust]

Democrats now have to throw Carter under the bus to prop up weekend at Bidens. 😂

[MNJohnnie]

Leftists gabber and scribblers constantly try to re-write reality to fit their emotion based political bigotry.

It never works, Reality always wins in the end.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Obviously the writer of this garbage is a died in the wool Demiocrat who indulges in wishful thinking. How guys like this get published is beyond me.

This is the 1970s and Biden is Leonid Brezhnev.

[cuban leaf]

See my tag line.

[Fido969]

lol.

[Dr. Sivana]

This is the 1970s and Biden is Leonid Brezhnev.

I'm getting more of a Khrushchev vibe. Can't you just picture him banging his shoe yelling "C'mon man!"

[z3n]

It’s amazing to behold. Trump was somehow worse than hitler, but Biden is better than Clinton or Reagan. The cognitive contortions that these people perform are amazing.

[MrLucky1966]

This is the 1970s and Biden is Leonid Brezhnev.

I had the same thought As inept and a bumbler Carter was, I really don't believe he intended to wreck the nation like these clowns today are doing.

[rlmorel]

It is worse. Far, FAR worse.

Carter was simply incompetent, arrogant, and petty, and there were still some Democrats who were still Americans in conception.

It is much different today.

Biden and his Administration are malicious and have malignant intent, and anyone with a “D” after their name are enemies of the Constitution and this country.

... and this ain’t the Summer of Love........................

[seowulf]

Yep, the 2020s are nothing like the cheery 1970s when we could all “Do a little dance, make a little love, Get down tonight.”

[Jeff Chandler]

You have an interesting tagline.

But it IS already “The Malaise Days” - The Malaise Days 2.0

[9YearLurker]

Exactly. This is much worse. But it of course really isn’t Biden so much as globalist and Chinese actors who have bought off or allied with our own totalitarian (and depopulation) forces.

It never works, Reality always wins in the end.

Democrats don't give a crap about "the end." They only care about fooling people long enough to get to the next election.

[adorno]

Just the facts, please.

Carter was awful for the country.

Obama was just as awful, and perhaps worse.

Biden, very obviously, is very bad for the country.

In fact, every democrat president in history, has been very bad for the country, and everything any one of them did, added to the misery that the country now finds itself in.
