Jimmy Carter is the North Star. Young people should follow him.

I was not born yet, and on a brisk, sunny January afternoon in 1977, a peanut farmer from Georgia promised to defend the U.S. constitution. That peanut farmer, James Earl Carter, Jr., served as president for the next four years – then the next 44, as a citizen, launched a certain decent crusade to make everything he remind the world of.

The repetition and moral decline of the Richard Nixon era (Vietnam War, Watergate Break, Drug War, Pentagon Paper Scandal) were unaffected, and Carter brought something to some of the Oval Offices that the American people had almost forgotten: Honesty.

I wasn’t nearby when he led the country, but I was dead, he had passed away, reassessed. Jimmy Carter I read in the obsess over the past two weeks is not the Jimmy Carter I learned in school – single-learning president, failed. I hope the final grace After years of critical coverage, Carter is revealed at the Fourth Manor – the poor, stupid Jimmy Carter bites into dust. “Jimmy Carter’s good intentions are not enough.” “What defines Jimmy Carter is naive.” I expect a media Fusillade of speed and passion that can pick the old man’s curved smile and simple sympathy without mercy.

I was only 14 when I first learned about our 39th President. My class talked about everything that was usual, all the major President Carter milestones – Battalion David, the Second Strategic Weapons Restriction Talks Agreement (Salt II), the Panama Canal Treaty, etc. Then we start the infamous “discomfort” speech, so named after a word that he never even used. What I remember most was that from that class and the entire unit – Carter was allegedly so misleading. We are taught that he wants the best for the American people, but that he is an inefficient pessimist. Of course, he advocates human rights, but who cares – he blames us! Idealist fool.

This judgment never sat with me. Idealism seems to me to be respected, not condemned. So when most media met with Carter’s death, almost reverenting his talent and humanitarian work (rather than being more contemptuous and cynical).

Carter’s legacy shows us that things may still be different

For eight years, Donald Trump and his entourage made us difficult and made us pragmatic and pragmatic realism. Fight back with a smaller working style. Take some steps. Stick to what is feasible. The less we want, the less he takes away from us. The failure of Vice President Kamala Harris’ hopeful movement feels like a death blow to high-mindedness.

Of course, Carter made a mistake – what about the president? – But most importantly, he is an example of human good and principled leadership – an example of our current felony presidential election will be very good for attention.

Even in Carter’s failure, we see integrity. Grant asylum to the asylum of overthrown Iran Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi – is the move (which I might point out, is very hesitant) diplomatically correct? Can be argued. As a long-time ally, the United States owes him, as inconvenient as it accommodates him. But is this morally correct? No doubt, yes. The former monarch needs life-saving cancer treatment. Carter got him.

I’m not an ignorant child. I know altruism will only keep you so far. But the United States I grew up with might be less pragmatic and more idealistic. If we lose our appreciation for morality, how visionary or utopian, we lose ourselves and we lose our American ideas.

That day Real policy Victory is the day when we lose our American spirit.

As a young man, my knowledge of presidential politics is far from complete. But I know what is right, and so is Carter. Idealism paired with naivety is dangerous, but we must remember that idealism itself is not naive. This is upright. The president and a non-upright man went astray.

Donald Trump came to power when he was eight years old. In the most growing years of my life, I watched tax deception, rapists, slanderers, open racism, bullying, advocating violence and two-time insurgents leading our country. That’s why I was taught to the United States to accept and encourage.

Young people like me – One’s morality is under six feet and we will rule for another four years. A man who whim has an injustice whose main motivation is not good, but self-invigorating and enjoyment, and is with a group of relatives who sleep in Benjamin’s bed with a stuffed mattress. There is nothing we can do to change this. Finished and finished.

But all we can do is be better than him. The people become president. So when the president is Trump rather than Carter, when the president is corrupt and liar, we must remember the people and positions we represent and protest when they are ignored. Even if this means justice, we must remain upright. We cannot let executives demean the people.

We young people are the future. We have the responsibility and authority to ensure that the United States remains the champion of human rights, not the ironic irony. Jimmy Carter is full of dreamer spirit – with the right idea. So let us pay attention to his legacy.

Those who grew up under Carter – the baby booming generation after World War II – have ideals. The ideal of justice – The ideal of environment, racial relations and humanitarianism. They value peace and progress. They have a president by their side. The president shows them that the United States may be a peacemaker, not a warm person.

President Joe Biden restored these ideals. Ironically, he was also a single-year Democratic president, who, despite his great humanitarian and legislative achievements, sneered in the same terms as the Carter era.

Together with Carter, there is a universal morality that empowers young people. But in the Trump era, I was worried about young people like me. I fear they were taught that cynicism is better than hope, that self-interest is better than selflessness, that money means power, and that greed is the way to the table.

So, for young people, I said: Remember, this is not a must. This is not the United States.

We need to continue dreaming of a better world. The peanut farmers president certainly knows how.
