I'm so sad for Jimmy Carter.

[Elessar Zappa]

This was his last presidential vote and I’m sure he wanted to exit this life knowing his beloved country was in good hands. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

1. Tuesday evening as the outcome was becoming clear, he crossed my mind....

In his photo with his family on his birthday, he didnt appear to be coherent. I wouldnt mind if he’s been spared knowledge of what happened on Tuesday.

[Maeve]

2. He'll have a good view of things on the other side

And he'll get to see redemption played out.

Please don't tell me that is a foolish thought. I'm not a true believer, but if there is justice in the universe (and I want that to be the case), he will celebrate in the long run.
Against all reason, I choose hope.

[Elessar Zappa]

10. I don't believe it's a foolish thought.

I share your hopes.

[calimary]

19. So do I.

Besides, he’d be back with Rosalynn too. And that’s a very comforting thought.

3. He May Die Before Inauguration

If he was holding out for Kamala, he will lose the will to live.

[Elessar Zappa]

11. It wouldn't surprise me.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. T Will Go To His Funeral And Give A Thumbs Up nt

[COL Mustard]

24. More likely

A middle finger 🖕 or two.

[dsharp88]

30. No way on Earth t goes to President Carter's funeral.

MAGA nation and fox would have a meltdown.

[dflprincess]

21. If he is scheduled to depart before too long

I would prefer he do so while Biden is president so that he receives the the respect he deserves from Washington - and that his family has someone who is truly emphathetic to deal with.

[misanthrope]

26. Amen to that**nm

[XanaDUer2]

4. Me too

[hlthe2b]

5. Me too. My first thought the morning "after."

Likewise the 110-year-old survivor of the Tulsa Massacre-- who was overjoyed to vote for Kamala.

[Elessar Zappa]

9. Oh geez, I hadn't heard of the 110 year old.

Terrible that America failed her again.

[republianmushroom]

6. I'm so sad for this Country.

7. ❤️

[Figarosmom]

8. Im sad because id bet

Trump will deny hus state funeral or even memorial. For him or Joe Biden when he dues. He tried to deny McCain' and he was stopped. Thus time he wont be stopped, he wont allow it..

[Initech]

15. Trump is such a worthless, petty, pathetic piece of shit.

I will not watch his inauguration. When he dies, I will never give him any respect. If there is a hell, may he rot in it. I'm sure Satan has a special place reserved for him.

[Figarosmom]

17. I second that. ....nt

[calimary]

29. There'll be some cool old movies worth seeing again.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

20. I don't think he has much say in the funerals of former presidents. I think the John McCain dust up was

he wasn’t going to lower the flag to half mast. Perhaps I’m wrong, please advise if so.

[whathehell]

23. McCain specifically asked Trump..

not to attend his funeral, a request that should have surprised no one..

[Figarosmom]

28. He begrudgingly allowed the funersl but still complains he didnt get a thank you

Fir the state funeral even as recently as when they did the photo op at Arlington. If he throws a tantrum about it we can bet his people will make sure there will be no state funeral or half flag this time.

[Initech]

12. Yeah me too.

I was so hoping that he'd get to see our first female president inaugurated.

But nope, this country chose wrong, and now we're stuck with 4 more years of the fucking asshole in charge. Damn it to hell.

[SoCalDavidS]

14. First Female President Will Be A repub

They have plenty on their side to choose from. A majority of white women voted for T, and they'll support a MAGA, even if she's female.

It may take a couple of cycles, but it's gonna happen.

[Initech]

16. That's even more disgusting

An American Marine La Pen. Gross.

[slightlv]

18. It's not just to get a woman... any woman....

in the presidency... it's to get the RIGHT woman there who can make the changes that come from her inner knowing and understanding in order to help the people of the U.S. A repub, no matter what gender, is never going to have that as a goal. I wouldn't vote for a republican woman; I will never vote for a republican, period!

[Lucky Luciano]

22. Probably Tulsi now that she's full blown MAGAt.

[misanthrope]

25. Carter tried as best he could

He told Americans a bold and simple truth:

In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.

For that, he was vilified and was replaced by a POTUS who stood for those same tragic flaws Carter cited.

[BlueTsunami2018]

27. I feel worse for the people who are actually going to have to live with this.

I can reasonably expect to live at least another thirty years and I have to watch everything I’ve worked for be taken away. My kids are terrified at the prospect of the straight up oncoming fascism.

Yeah, President Carter will go to his grave with this but we actually have to live with it.

He’s the lucky one.
