Wow.
Anybody that says the SJW agenda in comic books is a conspiracy is getting blown the fuck out by reality a lot lately.

You were saying?
In any case, since you've admitted that your issue was with my use of the word "presidency", which I had already previously defined correctly, what is preventing you from understanding my post now?
Your problem is that you lack intricacy. Like many a dumb libertarian, you take the simplest approach to all problems and reject those that don't fit within the idealistic bounds of your worldview. "That CAN'T be right, it contradicts my one central tenet! It makes no sense!"

Yes, the era as it relates to things pertaining to the president. IE decisions, appointments, policy, etc. It makes zero sense to say someone was a good president with a bad presidency. The "badness" of the presidency cannot be mere circumstances. Otherwise we can list an endless number of things as pertaining to the "presidency".

But not all things that happen under a presidency are things that are caused by the sitting presidency. Problems can be created under one presidency, and fruit under the next. Obviously I'm talking about things that still pertain to the president, and all the examples I gave were things under the purview of the presidency. I didn't blame George W Bush for Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.

Explain how Carter was a good president but had a bad presidency, or how FDR etc were bad presidents and had successful presidences. There were no examples. I don't think Reagan was a good president except in comparison to the normal shit show.

I gave the examples of W and Reagan, I don't know what two more examples will do to convince you, but here you go:
Carter privatized industries, moving the country away from the controlled economy FDR introduced, and also generally sought more peaceful solutions to international problems rather than swinging his military dick around like so many others. His admin was also relatively free from corruption afaik. The oil crisis of his time was largely inherited from the Iranian Revolution, a reaction to decades of meddling begun by Truman and Eisenhower. Hostage situation, obviously the same case.
The Great Depression ended under FDR and WW2 nearly ended under him. He was extremely successful in exercising political control and redefined the Democratic party, creating a legacy that lasts to this day. In order to do so he created a government with nearly unstoppable reach over private citizens.

Hadn't really read much about Carter tbh, outside of knowing he created the DoEs. Just went and did some reading and it appears he had a much better presidency than I realized.
Yeah, all it took to end TGD was FDR shipping off a bunch of the workforce to be killed and/or paid by govt debt and helping craft the increasingly totalitarian state. #winning. FDR might be the biggest piece of shit in American history and his presidency was a disaster for millions.

Hence my careful wording of ended under FDR and not ended because of FDR.
Though tbh I don't blame him for WW2, he handled it better than Wilson did WW1. Had he not died and been replaced by an incompetent push-over like Truman, his support of the USSR may have turned into something that didn't result in half of Europe being destroyed by communism.
Feinstein is easily one of our worst currently sitting senators. Funny on the topic of education since this is the same Feinstein that supports expelling students for saying anything anti-Israeli. No representative of America believes in the concept of rights less than she does.

"and WW2 nearly ended under him"
I find it amazing how much credit we give ourselves for the end of that war. Nothing can touch the American propaganda machine. Nothing.

thats what they told your mommy and daddy for them to think "LOOK WE WE'RE WINNAARZZ, AMERICAAAA!"Nothing we did would have changed the outcome of Russia defeating the nazi's. We sat there with our thumbs in our asses while europe got annihilated and joined once we realized that the nazi's were not going to defeat the Russians. "YOOU ESS AYEEE YOOOU ESS AYEEE!!"

He died literally months before WW2 ended. Hence, it nearly ended under him.
Russia would have fallen in a year to the Nazis if it wasn't for the Lend-Lease deal. Stop falling for Soviet propaganda, Turkdodger. Vlad's dick doesn't taste *that* great.

Uh splitting Hitler's army in half sure did nothing ya big doofus. Jesus Christ that's a dumb opinion.
Hitler declared war on us in case you don't know what you're talking about.
Mud and lack of roads saved Russia. And going west first. Pretty funny how that all works out.

spoken like the true spermcatcher you are.
Did the Americans imorpt the ice cold Russian winter to Russia?
The Russians did what they always do when invaded. They retreated, burning as they went, bled the enemy the whole way and traded land for time. Eventually the German supply lines (which were still mostly horse drawn, by the way) were stretched so thin that the Germans could no longer adequately supply their army. The German offensive then stalled.
The Soviets then sat back and mustered massive reserves to strike the now very haggard Germans. When that strike came in the spring, it was the beginning of the end. The Russians had the initiative and never again lost it.
