I was 24 years old when Carter become president. The night before the 1980 election I heard him and Reagan on TV and thought we didn’t have anything to worry about, that Carter would win again easily. 1/2

I couldn’t conceive of the country not wanting to re-elect him. I thought he was great then and I think he’s great now. Happy birthday, Mr. President. 💙🙏❤️ 2/2

Nothing has changed if your not heavily into war and ruling the world then they find a way to get rid of you.

Carter STARTED the horrific Reagan military buildup only three years after Vietnam. Not great then or now.

Ps. BTW. I was a young leftist activist back then. I absolutely knew Reagan was going to win that election and the following election. The people who disappointed me the most were the leftist socialists who fought him for 4 years. Didn't know how good we had it.

Reagan single handed motivated an entire generation into believing their parents were wrong and that we could win, we could do great things, that America’s best wasn’t over….. and in the late 80’s that generation stepped out into the world. He bought at least 4 decades maybe 5 for us… no matter how hard and desperately the boomers have tried to rip it down. Carter was nice, no doubt, but Reagan gave us a generation worth living… for that I’m thankful as can be.

I liked his human rights policy just as the Iran hostage crisis was having too many singing "Bomb bomb bomb Iran." But in '76 I supported Eugene McCarthy (who Democrats took off NYS ballot like they may with @CornelWest). You sure look >4 yrs younger than I. Sure you were 24?

We can all thank a Kennedy for delivering Regan, the same one that tried to cover up Mary Jo's tragic death.
