    James Buchanan. He intervened in the Dredd Scott decision (on the side of slavers) and stood idly by as states secceeded, allowing the south to gather strength for the civil war.

    Bush junior, but it’s getting close. Also possibly Coolidge for causing the Great Depression.

      Bush jr was Abraham Fucking Lincoln compared to trump. At least bush jr had some cronies with government experience around him and not Fox News hosts in charge of everything. And bear in mind, I fucking hate bush jr.

        Bush Jr. Did a bump set for Trump with the patriot act, going around Congress for wars, stacking courts… Citizen’s United was rammed thru by 5 justices appointed by W Jr (2) Reagan (2) and HW (2). Which makes it pretty obvious that the CIA and by extension now the courts are essentially just the henchmen for the American corporate cartel. Trump is a patsy so if all this shit backfires they can go “whoa whoa whoa WE didn’t do a bunch of genocides and political murders! That was that crazy guy and all his cartoonishly evil henchmen! We’re regular adults and we’re reasonable. We’ll just dial back the fascism a bit for a while. Now shut up and get back to work.”
