Have we ever had a president that was actually smart and not just good at faking it?

Abe Lincoln self taught himself lawyering and hosed people up in the court room apparently

Lincoln's also the only president to have a patent in their name.

Comedy Harrison option goes here.

But the smartest president in US history is probably Nixon. Too bad intelligence is not very well coupled to morals/integrity.

The dems demonstrate that same lack of coupling, but from the opposite side of the intelligence spectrum.

What you can take as a given is increased disaffection as things get worse. Right now we have the highest inflation in 30 years, unsustainable housing costs, healthcare costs, etc. Add to that a hyper-exploited group of wage-workers in transportation and distribution sectors due to COVID and the attendant supply chain issues that have arisen from that. If the Democrats are fully discredited in the absence of a credible working class party, it just means the extreme right wing bourgeois party is the only game in town. Unless we're in an immediate literal end-of-the-world scenario, it is never too late to build that alternative to the Democrats or Republicans. Even under the best of conditions it would likely take 20 years at least for that alternative to form, establish its credibility, educate its members, stick to a correct line, and grow nationally. It sucks but it also isn't impossible. Just do what you can to help with that project, with whatever org matches your goals.

It's kind of poetic that this sort of thing is what kicked off all our (recent) problems in the Mideast. We'd be interested in the resources of a middle eastern country. They'd elect a leader who wanted to use those resources to benefit the people. We'd knock over the government and replace it with a corrupt regime. We'd protect that corrupt regime by coopting or destroying any liberal or leftist movements in the country. Eventually the people would get so pissed they'd turn to the only power base they had left which wasn't under control of the West, the religious hardliners. Cue "Death to America."

President Joe Biden, who served with Hatch for more than three decades, said he "was, quite simply, an American original."

"He was the fighter who carried with him the memory of his humble upbringing near Pittsburgh, who never humored a bully, or shied from a challenge," Biden said in a statement Sunday.

senator or rep from Utah should always be read as “from the church of Mormon”. while the politicians may or may not actually be mormons, they can’t win elections without mormons so they may as well be from a policy standpoint.

anyway, my point is that now that mainstream GOP is synonymous with evangelicals, mormons are going to diverge occasionally and appear “bipartisan”.
