The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.
Obama was the best conservative president.
I’d have a hard time calling the guy who championed civil rights, same-sex marriage, and tried to create universal healthcare a conservative.
Who would you say was a better President since Reagan that wasn’t conservative?
Championed same-sex marriage? That’s what you think he did? Because I remember a man condemning same-sex marriage until the rest of us dragged him to it kicking and screaming. If it had been up to Obama same-sex marriage would still be on the out and he’d be patiently waiting on the right time.
Jimmy Carter because he never stopped doing good work for people.
Carter was probably the best person to be president in recent history, but he wasn’t a particularly good president.
It was the last time we weren’t directly in a war, so that’s pretty awesome. He also put solar panels on the white house, since removed by Spacefarce 457.
Carter was before Reagan. That’s why I said Obama was the best in my lifetime. I agree with Carter as a choice though.
