A quote from a Coolidge biography I'm reading right now:

"Coolidge turned sixteen and gave his attention to a national election, that between Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison, for the first time [...] Calvin became so interested that the contest even penetrated his dreams: 'Dreamed C carried Ind by some over 4000 and NY by 30.'"

Sounds like typical Atlas material to me.

His father refused to get electricity or a telephone so he was forced to be sworn in as President by his father by kerosene lamp. Not the best place to access Atlas.

Sure, but he'd rarely post anything.

He would be a lurker, remaining silent most of the time.

He’d probably recommend a lot more things than he posted, I’d say.

Atlas Forum user SilentCal1924 would like a word.

Not more than a word though.

He'd have a high post count, but none would have 10 or more words.

A woman once told Coolidge she made a bet that she could get him to say more than 10 words.  Coolidge replied:  "You lose." and walked away.

He'd post a lot, however.  As President he made a LOT of pubic appearances, allowed himself to be photographed in Native American Headdress and things like that.  He liked the attention one got when he was trying to be friendly.  So he'd have a lot of low effort posts, but he'd be seen as a "Nice guy!  FF".

I remember during camping where there was no TV and we had to listen to the radio at times during the 80s that was the era of Coolidge film strips of the three stooges and silent comedies and radio

That's what camping was like as a Cub scout I never went to Boy scout's

We're a long way from that and in Grammar school we visited Museums that talked about the Teddy Roosevelt era and newspapers and magazines , all news were made thru newspapers all the way up to the Great Recession 2008
