Right now, things would have to get lots worse to match 79 and 80 under Carter. I lived it. I know. My parents lived through the Great Depression. We’ve got a loooooong way to go to match that.
I also lived the Carter years as an adult and I see the potential here as being far worse. Carter was a nitwit, nitpicking control freak who could not hire or appoint good staff and help for anything. The difference is that Carter did not have the destruction of the constitution in mind when he came to office. I firmly believe that BO Plenty does.
I was partying hearty in Alaska in the ‘70s and ‘80s, so I also lived through the Carter era. At least we were still America then. I can almost bet that Carter’s preacher never said, “God damn America”. The media didn’t overtly support a socialist and overtly destroy decent people. The economies will suck equally, but freedom is issue now.
