Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Its Objectively Carter and its not even close and other than Hoover , he is the worst president in the 20th century period.

Solar panels, fiscal responsibility, sound monetary policy, and human rights are terrible!

The malaise speech was true, even if he shouldn't have said it. Most people rejected his message. They hated Carter because he told them the truth.

Wilson has much lower lows than the other Democratic presidents, but I give him a lot of credit for the domestic legislation that he passed. While his racial views were odious, I think both his actual impact on race relations, and his racism as compared to contemporaries, is often overstated on the internet (Wilson was probably the worst of his era, but the only decent president of his era on race was Harding, imo).

Coolidge was also acceptable-ish for the time (he did sign the Johnson-Reed Act, but it passed 308-62 in the House and 69-9 in the Senate so there was little he could have done about it); however, both Harding and Coolidge were so terrible on almost everything else that that's not much of a defense.

On a purely instinctive and unideological level, I'm very annoyed by how trendy it's become to consider Wilson absolutely bottom tier. I'm not much of a fan of him at all, but the idea of him being bottom of the barrel is an online libertarian bro meme that's somehow metastasized. And he went to Johns Hopkins, so as a fellow Blue Jay I have to be defensive. Mike Bloomberg at least paid off a semester's worth of student loans for me!

Funny Peanut Man and Bubba are the only options, and between them I'd probably go longue durée and pick the former, since he was responsible for the latter and also history's greatest monster. Props to him for discovering the hidden secret of human sexuality (Poles being the hottest people alive) tho.



"MALAISE FOREVER" is a theologically, politically, and probably even scientifically sound eschatology, though.

Malaise isnt inevitable anymore, line go up are living longer and now 65 is the age of brandonflation,  not the age of recession. Thays why the White house have Carter at nearly 100 and not incapacitated

Every process occurring in nature proceeds in the sense in which the sum of the malaise of all bodies taking part in the process is increased. In the limit, i.e. for reversible processes, the sum of the malaise remains unchanged.
