Hotter, Badder, and Unpopularer Takes

[morgankingsley]

I really don't care much for the MCU in general (there are a few individual movies I really like, but most are paint-by-numbers and forgettable) so that's my hot take.

It's a half and half for me. I adore about half, but genuinely really dislike about half as well. I'm too lazy to now but when I feel the mood for it I might review them all on the off topic board

I think Russell Hantz was robbed in Samoa

Perot was not a good candidate

My Immortal is actually not the worst fanfiction ever written, unironically

[morgankingsley]

Perot was not a good candidate

Whoever said he was?

The 20 million people who cast a vote for him

Rise of Skywalker is only the second worst one. Solo still wins on the account that Skywalker at least tried to wrap up a story arc

Nuclear Take: I think that the only state the democratic nomination truly helped Thurmond win was Louisiana. I think Thurmond would have actually won Alabama, South Carolina, and Mississipi even as the "States Rights Democratic Party" candidate. Truman severely burned the one big bridge with those three states (civil rights) to the point that even as a third party, I genuinely think Thurmond would have won them anyways. Louisiana, however, yeah, that party nomination was vital to his win

Also on the subject of Thurmond: It really irks me to no end when every map on planet earth acts like he was only winning those four states ever. He had a serious shot of winning the party nomination in Arkansas and Georgia, and therefore would have won at least those two states, in a slightly better turn out or in a slightly more favorable alternate history for him.

Obama was bad.

Clinton was mediocre at best.

Reagan was just meh.

Ford was one of the better presidents and the last president to date to be somewhat decent.

Nixon wasn't completely awful.

LBJ was horrible.

Trump is not the worst president of all time, I debate whether I'd even put him in the top 10 even though he's still clearly an awful president.

FDR wasn't that good.

I actually agree with almost all of these but I would swap ford and nixon

Ill even throw one in (a nuclear one)

Lincoln isn't even in the to 5 best (but I do agree with top 10)
