    Honestly almost all of them are more evil than most people in human history IMO. But not half as evil as the corporations and ultra elite that own them, that make all the real decisions, the Deep State, whose administration is immortal while America is Empire, and whose policies are always the first and foremost priority regardless of the near-ceremonial figurehead president at the helm.

    Net damage is a debate that could last forever and never resolve, but personally the piece of smug shit who never ceases to piss me off would be Ronald Reagan.

      I often wonder how much actual power the president even has to obstruct the bloodthirsty machinery of the American state. Like on day 1 do they just get locked in their office and shown the Zapruder film or worse? Or are they all just that devoid of basic humanity?

        lol I love the zapruder theory, and is probably true considering how long its lasted.

        But really tho, the US is not a monarchy, its a capitalist dictatorship… I don’t think there’s ever been a case where a US president has successfully gone against their capitalist masters and gotten away with it. The only possible time I can think of, was the new deal, where FDR had to campaign to convince capitalists to fund all the new deal programs.
