It was a crock, brought on by some multinational, just out for a buck imo. There are only so many notes, so many chords and so many combinations of them. The entire music industry is based on this sort of thing, artists know this and consequently tolerate minor semblences. People who have no other talent, tend to clutch at this sort of thing. Thanks a fuckin lot Adam Hills, for pointing this out BTW

Mondale: Hello, Jimmy, I love you. I am going to make a delicious dinner meal.

Reagan turns around and shoots Mondale in the head

Mondale fucking dies

Reagan: Jimmy, your VP is dead. Do an order of peanuts for dinner.

Carter: Okay, Raygun.

Carter: Hello, can I get a box of peanuts for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Reagan awkwardly caresses Carter

Reagan: Now, it is time for Democrat - Republican bonding. Bond with me, Jimmy.

Carter and Reagan sit down to watch the tube, Reagan is holding a pistol in his left hand

Doorbell rings

Carter answers the door

Deliveryman: Here are your peanuts.

The peanuts fly from the Deliveryman's hands, decapitating Reagan

Reagan: Oh, shit.

Reagan fucking dies

Carter: Just another day in the Carter Administration.

Carter wins a second term

Rod Serling: (narrating as the ending credits roll) You unlock this door with a key of imagination, beyond this is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You are moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas, you've just crossed over into THE TWILIGHT ZONE. DUN DUN. YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Jimmy Carter was a Cold War foreign policy hawk no different than Ronald Reagan or any of the other neo liberals and neo conservatives. At every turn he chose to arm and support far right regimes against leftist activists. He supported the Suharto regime commit genocide against the people of East Timor. He aided the Somoza Regime of Nicaragua. He aided the Mujahideen who would later go on to become parts of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. He supported Khmer Rouge of Cambodia. The list goes on and on.

Edit: Funny this gets so many downvotes but nobody can make excuses for Carter’s monstrous foreign policy
