James Buchanan vs Ronald Reagan

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I suppose you could argue that Buchanan was in an impossible situation, and the Civil War would have broken out anyway; but I feel his ineptitude was something ... special.

Reagan was just some idiot. his major success was not causing WW3, which is always a good start.

I suppose one could argue that the ardent anti-communist Reagan would have seen the Soviets as the greater evil, and refused to coordinate with them during WW2.

(Although this sort of idle hypothesising is largely bunk, obvs)
