Worst President of US

That's precisely why trying to reason with these people logically is a complete waste of time. You're utilizing your frontal cortex; they're responding only from their amygdala.

"Donald has figured out something most others have not: white evangelicals, the white working class, the Proud Boys and their ilk, aren’t voting against their self-interests, they are voting for what is of most interest to them and what most animates them—white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and hatred of the other."

Contempt

 

What's truly sad is not that they can't understand it, but they adamantly refuse to even try; their cult-imposed confirmation bias is unassailable by logic and reason, because they've become so identified with their cult that any information from outside their insular bubble that might introduce even a smidgen of cognitive dissonance is so threatening to their delicate, fragile ego identity it existentially terrifies them.

 

Is Islamic Nationalism better, worse or no different from what you call Christian Nationalism? All religions are basically free to practice, preach, protest, etc in every majority Christian country I can think of. But name one Islamic majority country in the Middle East where that is true.

 

Of course none of the above is appropriate in the United States because our constitution specifically provides for a separation of church and state. Looking at the years since Christianity became a religion one really would be hard put to say it’s morally superior to any other religion….lots of carnage and killings.

 

The Islamic counterpart of Christian Nationalism would be the kind of islamic jihadism that fuels ISIS, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian theocracy, etc. Most Christian majority countries and Muslim-majority countries aren't comparable to those extremist movements, than God! And most governments of Christian majority countries are secular. But Christian Nationalists aren't that at all!

 

Euhm seeing the list,can we make the subject off the poll,who was the best president(wises)...........and have multiple choices





For the rest it is a meaningles(system)..............left/right discussion(looking from the outside(NL) in) imo.

Mzzls

 

How could anyone not vote Bush Jr him and those creeps dragging us into war with Iraq with the "weapons of mass destruction" lie ? Trillions of dollars millions of lives nothing to show for it. Our liberties trashed over 9-11 things never went back to like before really.

Trump the most abrasive personality president of all time but not the worst, he really didn't do any damage again besides the culture war stuff that made people angry.

 

Donald Duck supported attempted genocide in Turkey, if you're going to rank presidents, it might be helpful to list how many innocent people they've killed. Its a US tradition, dating back to the Trail of Tears.

 

I picked Obama but Biden is up there also.........

 

Because?

 

Uh-oh.

 

Hey Vee: I am sure that you stated this with NO Examples. I will assume it is because they are Democrats and believe in a free society with representative government. Or is it because Heir Trumph Feels that way and he thinks that Vladimir Putin and Jin Ill are great leaders in todays society. I am sick and tired of the morons who can still support the Lying Rapist. If he ever did a days work for a days pay, he might understand. His most noted accomplishments include Telling more lies in his first 6 months in office, than all of the previous presidents combined. In addition he spent most of his time in the white house Tweeting and watching television. My neighbors kid with Downs Syndrome could do a better job than Trumph, and would not rape any women.

 

I have no idea. I'm not qualified to say. But, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Jackson, Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump, and Warren G Harding are all strong (weak?) contenders.

 

Obama by a wide margin

 

It makes little sense to look back only as far as Eisenhower. Of the 10 worst US presidents, 9 of them served before Eisenhower.

James Buchanan, who served from 1857-1861, is the worst. Historians consistently rank him either worst, second worst, or third worst.

Buchanan did as much as a President possibly could have done to deepen divisions and distrust on the matter of slavery both within his own party (Democrat) and among the nation as a whole. While it may or may not have been necessary to have a divided nation or a civil war to end slavery in the US, Buchanan went out of his way to make the war a certainty, and to make it equally certain that it would be an extremely bloody war.

 

Damn, I forgot Buchanan
