Jimmy Carter’s lasting Cold War legacy: His human rights focus helped dismantle the Soviet Union https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/123024_carter_legacy_op/jimmy-carters-lasting-cold-war-legacy-his-human-rights-focus-helped-dismantle-soviet-union/
Former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29, 2024 at age 100, pledged a new era of honesty and forthrightness - and though critics have described Carter’s foreign policies as “ineffectual,” his overseas policies were far more effective than critics have claimed.

@TucsonSentinel Every person who said “he was a good man but a bad president” was just plain wrong. He was good at both.
That narrative was pushed by right-wing extremists, and persists to this day. It is the narrative that encourages people to vote for an horrific human being like Trump, using the excuse that “He might be a good president BECAUSE he’s a bad person!”
What is wrong with people?!?
@TucsonSentinel Very hard for Republicans to give a Democrat any credit, especially when a Republican is in a position to take advantage of the work a Democrat has done.
Republicans can get stuffed.
