Top Presidential Scumbags:
1. Woodrow Wilson: Hated the ideals of free speech, racial equality, and the government serving the people.
2. Andrew Johnson: Managed to cement systemic racism and Jim Crow-era in the South, critically hampering the success of Reconstruction and essentially killing the first Civil Rights movement. Sabotaged race relations in America for over a century.
3. FDR: Did some notable things worth lauding and was highly regarded, but also massively expanded Federal power instead of assisting individual state recover efforts when dealing with the Depression. Sold out central and eastern Europe to the U.S.S.R at Yalta, effectively condemning millions of people to live under one of the worst regimes in history. Imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans during WWII despite no evidence of their being any less loyal to the U.S than their counterparts of other races. Broke the tradition of two-terms and attempted to pack the Supreme Court, showing a blatant fetish for power.
4. Andrew Jackson: Was good with the budget, yes, but also turned a blind eye towards depredations against Native Americans in the Southeast, causing irreversible damage to the cultural makeup of a massive part of the U.S.
5. Jimmy Carter: Nice guy, but very much inept. Presided over a horrible energy crisis and acted with malaise cowardice during the infamous hostage crisis.
Honorable Mention: LBJ: We should have gotten out of Vietnam or escalated to all-out war, not taken the pathetic middle-road escalation he chose where we were tripping over ourselves fighting the enemy in all the wrong ways. Quite a racist as well, quite possibly signed the second Civil Rights Act purely because he wanted to secure a new Democrat demographic rather than any real sympathy for their suffering.
