100% lol. Pretty sure Jimmy Carter and his wife, who died last year, complained about losing the election for the rest of their lives. Rosalynn was very upset. I think Gerald Ford also wanted to run again in 1980 to prove that he could win an election and be elected democratically, but the Republicans refused. I have no idea if Ford was angry with the Republicans, as Carter is at the Democrats. I think after Carter wrote that book about Israel, they basically kicked him out of the party for daring to say that Israel is practicing apartheid.
To be fair, the CIA did do some actual fuckery to make Carter lose
The whole Iran hostage thing was such obvious bullshit, Reagan runs on being the big strong conservative who can get the hostages back and it actually happens like a week into his presidency just like that? I don't buy that, I'd bet anything the CIA had an under the table deal with Iran especially since it meant having their man HW as the VP
Not that Carter isn't a war criminal piece of shit too but he's kinda like JFK in that he was slightly less shitty than average and even that was too much for the people calling the shots
I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that
I mean he's old enough that statistically he really should have, he's over 100 now so it's a bit shocking when you remember that he hasn't. I always remember he's alive just because of those factoids though. He's been alive for 40% of the entire history of this despicable settler colonial fash country.
Nah I want them all to be preserved artificially past their expiration date, while being forced to watch socialism with Chinese characteristics lift the global south out from underneath the boot of western imperialism...until the day after the last capitalist society falls to the glory of socialism.

Jimmy Carter still being alive is my personal Mandela effect I could have sworn he’s died like 4 times now

I mean……
thats a corpse
Tbf he's been barely alive for years now
Still more alive than I prefer my U.S. presidents to be tbh

i just had this same thought. i heard he was gonna be on the talk tuah podcast and i couldve sworn he already died
no fucking way
I think he survived literally multiple types of cancer using experimental drugs, even a deadly brain tumor.
