I'm not really sure, but I do remember my parents *hated* Carter. I remember distinctly sometime in the '90s thinking "Look at all the amazing things Carter has done with himself after being president. I always thought he was an asshole!"

Carter is a fine human being. So was Hoover.

Johnson was a sociopath, who gave us Medicare, Medicaid, desegregation, and “standardization of computer communication.”

Crediting him with bringing about desegregation is giving him a bit much. He merely stopped pissing down the leg of his secret service detail long enough to sense which way the wind was already blowing.

Your point made, however: it takes a true monster to survive American politics.
