Inadvertently, the disaster-prone 2020 is more than halfway over. The 2020 US presidential election is imminent. With the advent of autumn, let’s take a comprehensive look at what kind of state we’re in and the respective advantages that lie in the campaigns between Trump and Biden.

Personal opinion based ranking (1 meaning burn the man, 5 being complete indifference, 10 being still awful but could be a lot worse):
4. I know it feels repetitive, but hear me out. I consider Thomas Jefferson to be on the same level as John Adams. I have heard a lot of positive things about him—people tend to admire him for being an academic and a renaissance man—but he was also historically racist and just an all around asshole. He was the other side of the rivalry that I mentioned in the last article; he and John Adams hated each other. Granted, his side of the rivalry was a lot less interesting as Adams refused to go to Jefferson’s inauguration and his dying words were used to scorn him, but still. I almost placed him at a 3, because not only is he an asshole, he isn’t even as interesting as some of the other assholes that have run this country, but I figured that would be a petty thing to put him down for.

4. Yes, that’s right, I don’t like John Adams. I hear a lot of people praising him because he didn’t own slaves and he wanted America to break free from Great Britain, but in my opinion his bad traits outweigh the good. He wasn’t an abolitionist. His presidency can be compared to Trump’s in a lot of ways, if that tells you anything. He had quite the superiority complex and wanted to make it so people treated the president as a king; he wanted anyone who spoke bad about the president to be criminally charged. He also had a history of slandering his political opponents. Granted, they weren't exactly the peak of professionalism either, but it wasn’t good from either side.

5, I would be lying if I said I had many opinions on Washington. I’m not a fan of him as a person, I would not like to know him, and his politics were fine about 42% of the time which isn’t as bad as it could be. He just isn’t all that interesting to me. |
