    Are you calling JFK rightwing?

    Truman?

    Because go back any further and you hit FDR…

    Compare Carter to the Dems before him, and he’s way more conservative. Compare him to Dems after, and he’s more liberal.

    He was the tipping point, and not in a good way

      JFK was very left wing except for all of the times he bombed people for little to no reason at all.

      Thats why I called it his foreign policy failures. He had a couple of successes, too, but Jimmy Carter had a much better track record with peace and making allies.
