Carter was too intelligent but stupid also. Like Woodrow Wilson 60 years prior, He believed the deepstate and they fucked him. Interest rates reached 14-18% for loans and mortgages, chopped meat was 1.39/lb in 70's dollars, Milk was rationed. He started biofuels initiatives and Reagan used the opening to work a deal to get into office. They didn't think Ron would survive the assasination and wanted GHW Bush to take over.
Biden on the other hand is a low IQ thief, pedophile and incestuous horror, who is just a corrupt capo for the banksters and traffickers.
