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.
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?
Jimmy Carter because he never stopped doing good work for people.
Carter was before Reagan. That’s why I said Obama was the best in my lifetime. I agree with Carter as a choice though.
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.
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.
