Jimmy Carter’s death unlikely to usher in moment of national unity

The death of former President Jimmy Carter is unlikely to provide a lengthy reprieve from political rancor as the public reflects on his record and supporters of President-elect Donald Trump note that President Joe Biden‘s order for flags to be flown at half-staff has resulted in them being lowered during Trump’s inauguration.

While some might expect a president’s death to unite the country, the public is too polarized to put partisanship aside and grieve together for long, according to Northeastern University political science professor Costas Panagopoulos.

“Recollections of the Carter presidency will be perceived and processed through partisan lenses, and, even if his passing brings Americans together for a brief moment, the unity is unlikely to last long,” Panagopoulos told the Washington Examiner.

Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley went further, contending that the country “has never been united,” even during the Revolutionary War, except for after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

I think the bigger equation is will all the pomp and circumstance surrounding his death take away from Trump's inauguration?

20 days till Joe leaves.   :beer:

Jimmy Carter sucked before he became President.  He sucked as President.  And he sucked after leaving office.  Basically, he has sucked his whole life.  He is the poster child of the pitfalls of micromanagement.  If Democrats can't get on board with that, then chances for a national unity moment are dim.

yeah, I was a toddler when he lost in 1980 but I've heard some bad stuff about Jimmuh - he was a dictator fan boi, he was a phony that tried to act like he was carrying his own luggage but the suitcase would be empty, he was mean and hateful when the cameras weren't rolling.

whatever, I think living to be that old is an accomplishment in of itself. My dad used to bitch that Jimmuh broke the rules for an ex-president not to  badmouth his successors. Too many Jews. RIP, butthead.

He's also the poster child for failing upward, all the way to the top.

A person who viewed hamas, the plo, the ayatollah, etc. as "honorable" is evil.
No one can convince me otherwise.

Carter.  Unity?  Yeah right.   When Joe kicks the bucket. Same result.

Bill Clinton Called Jimmy Carter A ‘Treasonous pr*ck’

Chris Powell  |  3 hours ago  |  December 31, 2024

As the nation prepares to honor former President Jimmy Carter with a state funeral on January 9, new accounts highlight a tense chapter in his post-presidential legacy. During the Clinton administration, Carter’s unauthorized diplomatic efforts in North Korea reportedly sparked outrage, with one senior official allegedly branding the former president a “treasonous pr*ck.”

The episode, detailed in a National Review report, sheds light on the friction between the two Democratic leaders. Carter’s solo negotiations with North Korea, conducted without prior approval from the Clinton White House, left President Bill Clinton boxed into accepting a deal he had not sanctioned—complicating U.S. foreign policy at a critical moment.

According to a National Review, during Clinton’s presidency, Carter acted unilaterally to negotiate with North Korea—a move that blindsided the Clinton administration. Carter, accompanied by a CNN film crew, reportedly brokered a framework agreement with the rogue state and announced it publicly before consulting with Clinton’s team. The sudden announcement left the administration scrambling, with Clinton forced to accept the deal and abandon U.N. sanctions efforts.  .  .

When a treasonous p***k calls you a treasonous p***k, you know you're pretty far out on that limb.
