Jimmy Carter was through and through a devout Christian and a good person...hoping that Perhaps Johnson would act in the interest of All Americans. Voting for any politician is a gamble - look at Biden and the burden he is saddling U.S. taxpayers with for his open-border policy - look at Trump who very likely gave away U.S. government secrets to his "buddy" Kim Jon Ung and who knows what other entities or celebrities he gave that info to to impress them with "his power." Not to mention that he allowed the Saudis to make an absolute fool of him as they egged him on to perform their sword dance.

@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 Месяц назад

@@user-vt4eh1os3m Part of the issue is that Republicans have responded to every election for decades in one of two ways: When they win, it's because the american people like their policies and it's clearly a mandate to continue to pull the Overton window further to the right and campaign on more extreme measures then before because that's clearly what the people want while purging/marginalizing members of the party who don't want to support this. When they lose, Clearly they weren't extreme enough; they need to push harder to get those hearts and minds and thus win the next election. This is how you're country wound up with Trump and MAGA; you have a bunch of people who have been pushing more and more extreme ideologies for the better part of 16 years and the ultimate result was a man who couldn't pass a middle school exam on civics being given the most powerful office on earth and utter lunatics who would rather burn the country down then engage in the time honored tradition of horse trading.
