This is another scenario where I think we would be looking to state governors / city mayors to handle stuff, much like when Trump pulled out of Paris the states/cities stepped in to say they'd be doing it anyway

The problem with that is the biggest thing local leaders do in that situation is coordinating the respones between the various local, national, NGO,etc. groups. When there's no national response, there's only so much the local guys can do

LBJ is a contender too, but there's a rather obvious blemish on that record. You can argue whether his achievements outweigh that compared to Obama's much more meager domestic policies and multiple foreign policy blunders.

I'm a transplant from Florida (the part that's essentially an honorary part of the South) working there on contract in Warsaw and commuting from Fort Wayne (because they ran out of room in town to house people). I don't know if the move is an improvement (the food variety is 100% worse I think)

Fort Wayne is kinda weird in that it's the 2nd biggest city in the state, only nobody in the rest of the state ever hears anything about it or has any clue what's going on in it. I've lived in Indy and Bloomington for over 20 years combined and Fort Wayne has come up maybe like half a dozen times?

Looking in from the outside it looks like it isn't the worst place to live - it's no Anderson or Connersville and they're the top of the heap in terms of the rest of the state

Warsaw though, yeesh

Most of the kennel/racetrack workers are Hispanic (and often illegal immigrants) Same goes for horse racing.

Jimmy Carter, for all his flaws, had a pretty decent "do nothing" foreign policy when he wasn't selling weapons to Mujahideen rebels or Indonesia. An LBJ/Carter hybrid would have been the best president since Lincoln

Canadian easily. If you've ever had to interact with health insurance billing, this isn't a hard choice, even though I have what would be considered a "platinum" plan and hate the idea of monarchy with every fiber of my being.

There is one nice bar in town that I know of and it's otherwise a general cultural wasteland that survives due to the existence of the fresh blood that cycles in to work at the Orthopedics companies there.
