saw somebody say that bill clinton was βthe most widely disliked president in recent american historyβ, at least until trump took office, and thats part of what made hillary so unlikeable and unelectable and like. granted. i wasnt really alive long enough to even be aware that there was a president when he was in office, let alone what his popularity was, but i DO know that in may of 2013 my ap us history teacher asked all his classes of 17 year olds who the best and worst president of the us was. my classes top 3 was washington, lincoln, and fdr and the worst president we unanimously agreed was bush. my teacher then revealed what the other classes had said and Every. Single. Class. said bush
personally i dont think clinton was the most widely disliked president in recent history in 2016. im pretty sure it was bush
#i fought like hell campaigning for fdr. i wanted someone besides who a 5 year old would pick but lincoln won βπ#the other classes were all washington and lincoln as well#lemme tell you. living in a Pretty Conservative Area of ca. having kids throw forth reagan as the best.#and feeling uncomfortable as you weakly put him forth as the worst. seeing everyone in the class decide that. no. BUSH was the worst was.#something. lmao. you even lost the support of the proud members of the young conservatives club my man!! the kids who said our city was too#liberal. a city that would later go on to have a mayor say no good black person has been killed by police#or try to BAN ABORTION. AGAINST STATE LAW. AND THEN TRY TO ACT LIKE THE STATE IS ATTACKING YOU. FOR SAYING THEY WILL TAKE ACTION#i will say one of those kids floated clinton as the worst but ultimately they went for bush#i will also say my opinions shifted and i think reagan is hands down the worst and if i could go back id go so hard campaigning for him#id pull out all the stops. i have a better understanding of just how evil he was i could do it this time
