GOODBYE, JIMMY FROM GEORGIA
By Cash Michaels
Since December 29th when we all learned of his passing, I’ve been wondering… if former President Jimmy Carter had run against Pres.-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election, who would have won?
Of course I’m not talking about the 100-year-old former president who had spent over a year in hospice by the time he died, but rather the young, idealistic former Georgia governor and peanut farmer who deeply believed in the goodness of America.
No question who would have won last November. Donald Trump.
Why? Because this is his era now, his country, ruled by his people.
No longer are we the same citizens who voted Jimmy Carter into office in 1976 because we needed to get rid of the crooked stench of Watergate, and all of the national shame and disgust that came with it.
We’re the smucks who just voted a convicted criminal, racist and sexual abuser into office a SECOND TIME, all because he suckered most of us into believing that he could singlehandedly lower the price of everything, only to have him after he won, admit that he actually couldn't do it, but had to say he could in order to win the 2024 election.
In other words, he lied, and many of us fell for it.
You know, MAGA - Making America Gullible Again!
“Tricky Dick” Nixon would have been gobsmacked by the depth of evil and deception he could have learned firsthand at the feet of Donald Trump. And history tells us that Nixon was a wicked fiend in his own right.
Yes, Trump would have beaten Jimmy Carter handily today, because no more are we a country that respects the true tenets of decency and democracy Carter represented. I mean, can you imagine…an ex-president who spent his time building homes for the poor free of charge, or teaching Sunday school each weekend, or being a world-renowned humanitarian and highly respected elder statesman?
Those deeds speak to the epitome of strong character and deep faith in GOD Carter possessed, in addition to the abiding love he coveted for his fellow man.
Hell no, Jimmy Carter would not have won the presidency in this day and age. His unimpeachable values and strong moral core would not have been acceptable to the vast majority of Americans now.
We want an unabashed white supremacist to be our leader, not someone like Carter, who built an historic bridge of peace between Egypt and Israel.
We want a clown who brags about taking Greenland and the Panama Canal by military force if necessary, and is trying desperately to sidetrack his criminal punishment and official record of his dastardly treachery days before he's sworn back into office.
And who promises to pardon the traitors who attacked our U.S Capitol Building, and attacked our U.S. Capitol police officers defending our sacred building.
That's who our hearts bleed for, not someone honest and just, like Jimmy from Georgia.
No, we wouldn’t have elected Jimmy Carter, because we no longer appreciate his kind of decency and honesty.We don’t have time for his small town Plains, Georgia kind of folksy-ism. We prefer the hard-boiled city slicker crap that Donald Trump gives us an abundance of.
We no longer appreciate the fact that Jimmy Carter was a happily married man of 77 long years to the same wonderful woman and partner, Rosalyn, the saintly mother of his children; not to three or four women with more spoiled rich kids than he could remember.
And the pure honesty of Jimmy Carter, a Southern Baptist deacon, is something we chuckle at today, especially when he once admitted to having “committed adultery many times" in. his heart. Hell, that perfectly normal, human admission back in the day almost cratered Carter’s chances of winning the 1976 presidential election.
Instead, we’re proud of electing a senile twisted pervert who bragged on video about grabbing women’s privates, and has a long history of sexually abusing females. And then would lie about it to the point of being dragged into court.
But we’re alright with that, apparently.
Look, all I’m saying is our nation has reverted back to the moral Stone Age. The results of the 2024 presidential election proved that.
The only “values” we seem to care about today are the ones attached to our homes, cars and pocketbooks. Forget the lofty stuff that the man from Plains, Georgia was talking about.
Forget how Pres. Jimmy Carter worked hard to make sure that African-Americans, and particularly Black women, had a place in his administration.
Forget how Jimmy Carter used his faith to demonstrate to the world what a true Christian says and does, not as a weapon to beat up on people he had a political distaste for.
Forget how when he died, Jimmy Carter and his humanitarian work was lauded by both Democrats and Republicans alike.
Please forget all of that stuff because that’s not the kind of leader we apparently honor and truly admire anymore. The American people want no parts of that kind of servant-leader.
In fact, even though we’ve gone through several days of honors and salutations to Pres.Carter, only to finally give him his final words of tributes and resting place today, its not a grateful nation doing all of that. Not a people who feel deeply for the high quality of leadership we once produced to get our country back on its moral footing.
No. For all intent and purposes, we just want to dump Jimmy Carter in the ground, get all of this tribute stuff over and done with, and then go on about our business…which is about caring only about ourselves.
Most of us apparently can’t wait for January 20th to come, when the chaos will officially begin, and the kind of “leader’ we really want takes office, and disgraces the legacy of Jimmy Carter, if not further disgraces the sanctity of the presidency.
Just think.We now have a leader who was re-elected after profoundly disrespecting our men and women in uniform by calling them “suckers” for putting their lives on the line for their nation.
We now have a leader who has profoundly disrespected people of color in this nation with his racism, and especially those who are legal immigrants of color who “are eating the dogs, are eating the cats."
And we now have a leader in Donald Trump who slandered Pres. Carter just weeks before his passing as he laid in his death bed, all because the former president wanted to live long enough to vote against Trump, who he rightfully had no respect for.
And what did we do? We sided with indecency, and re-elected Trump, because we’re so filled with darkness and rage, not hope.
Not the hope a principled statesman named James Earl Carter Jr. devoutly believed the nation he gave his life in service to should always have.
It's ironic that Pres. Carter's body has been brought back to Washington, D.C. for his funeral today, a city where he was always an outsider because his agenda was service to the people, not how to screw the people he was elected to serve. We didn't appreciate that about the man until after he had long left office. That's how blind we are.
No, Jimmy from Georgia would have lost if he ran against Trump in 2024, because the majority of Americans today no longer believe in the decency, or democracy of America.
Goodbye, Mr. President. Thank you for reminding us in death, what many Americans have forgotten in living. We didn't deserve a man like you then, and damn sure don't now!
We may never see your quality of humanity, or leadership in the White House, or America, ever again.
