Who would make your list of the top 10 most evil and dangerous leaders in the past 100 years?

thinly-disguised Nikki Haley for President 2024 thread

 

I am rooting for a Nikki vs Kamala showdown but I am an outlier.

 

I'm mostly know my American leader bastards and here are my biggest bastards in American history


Reagan

All the people involved in the Business Plot(Prescott Bush, JP Morgan etc)

Charles Lindbergh

Roy Cohn

Donald Trump

Douglas Macarthur

Woodrow Wilson

Andrew Jackson

Nathan Bedford Forrest

 

I want the most qualified person for the job, don't care if they're old, white, black, Hispanic, blue, woman, or man. Joe Biden has shepherded more impactful legislation through Congress than anyone else in my lifetime.

 

you forgot Andrew Johnson

 

Did anyone know here that JP Morgan, Ford and George HW Bush's dad were actual fascists?

 

Ya he was a problem also.

 

Click bait title


Butler was actually the hero in the story.

Dude turned from an agent of American imperialism to a borderline Marxist.

 

I read a book on it in college, now that I think about it I wonder if it's still available in Florida? Probably not...at least there's always the internet.

 

we gotchu.

I agree with you that most women aren't the rat bastards our male leaders usually are. And that might have something to do with why they aren't getting the top jobs. Democracy helps. We see other democracies electing women as leaders, though women do still have conscious or unconscious misogyny to overcome to get votes. And, unfortunately, (especially in a global hegemon like the US and unlike an idyllic little afterthought like New Zealand) the women who do make it through the gauntlet to take leadership might just be the most ruthless, power-hungry, psychopathic women available. At the minimum, for a woman to lead in the US, they need to be able to give people confidence that they are ready and able to drone-strike some children in a third world country like a man would do if that's what it took. Hillary Clinton achieved that, I think, though she still didn't manage to quite overcome the misogyny in other ways. I guess the point of my rambling is careful what you wish for -- you won't get a woman as president with the typical qualities we associate with the gender; she'd have to eschew those qualities to get the votes.

 

Why Reagan?

 

in my books, post WW2, the most qualified person for the job has been Nixon (lawyer, state & federall lawmaker and VPOTUS). look how his presidency turned out.

 

Let's put it this way. He made a dude who started a MLM company head of the presidential AIDs response.

Just a small example of the type of people involved in his presidency.

 

Pappy Bush too.

 

Ironically Pappy Bush is the best GOP president we have had in half a century.
