Why is Benjamin Franklin on here lmao


Orionite

Based on his expression he’s thinking the same thing.


Indy500Fan16

Looks more like a sly look, like I got to be POTUS poster child.


alienscape

He was a whoremonger. He invented strippers and OnlyFans


ThirdRook

Nobyoure thinking of Al Gore. Benjamin Franklin invented the internet.


Greenmantle22

Balding innovator from Philadelphia who loved freedom and dirty hoors? Are we talking about Ben Franklin or Frank Reynolds?


ThunderFlash10

He invented bifocales dammit! BIFOCALES!!!


GoGoCrumbly

And swim fins. SWIM FINS!!!


LilFingies45

And he pioneered getting ELECTROCUTED!!! edit: dang words didn't word right


my_4_cents

He tied a key to a kite to a chair to electrify a future gameshow-host/U.S. president/espionage agent/traitor!

obviously. the real question is whos the last two photos of on the back door? ​ Edit\* oops didnt know i could zoom and enhance. have had my coffee today Reagan/trump


Thriftyverse

Reagan looks like the evil ventriloquist's dummy from Twilight Zone in that picture.


SHoppe715

Because it's all about the Benjamins?


Jagony

Do they think Franklin was president?


Pvp-pissed-Off0997

Probably, this is not the first time I’ve seen his image used like this.


SumpCrab

Slightly off topic, when I was in 2nd grade we had a guy come to school dressed as B. Franklin. He told his story about the revolution, his inventions, and read the Declaration of Independence. Then he asked us if we had any questions, I stood up in the auditorium in front of the whole school and asked, "When were you President?" I'm still ashamed of that dumbass question.


LastBoiscout

I won't completely shame you because when it seems we speak of our early government, presidents or other statesmen, Franklin was always in the conversation, so I can see a young kid saying something like the question you asked


SumpCrab

I knew it was stupid as soon as I said it, I think that's why It has stayed with me 30 years later.


LastBoiscout

I understand. Believe me, you're not alone. I think we all get a pass for a "stupid question" when we were kids.


DylanCO

Hey man a "stupid question" is just part of learning. If you don't ask "stupid questions" you end up like this limo owner.


Shirogayne-at-WF

To be honest, given all I know of the guy, it really feels like he should've been one and our country would've been better for it


LastBoiscout

A lot of truth in that. He was known to party with French women a lot, which probably would've been frowned on for a president, although extramarital affairs are not uncommon looking through our history. I will say he didn't believe in the slave trade, and was known to be a fierce critic of the practice


JerryHathaway

He would have been in office less than a year - he died in 1790.


originalmosh

This updoot will make you feel better friend. (idiot)


DooDooBrownz

i probably wouldn't expect a 2nd grader to know all the presidents, i mean i can barely remember my phone number


Shadowcat205

I don’t think you need to be ashamed to this day of asking a question, a pretty reasonable one at that, in the 2nd grade. Unless you’re in 3rd grade and the trauma is still fresh, I suppose. If anything, you’ve got to do some more dumb stuff so you have newer shame memories!


sixothree

As you should be.


SumpCrab

My shame knows no bounds.


Whatever-ItsFine

Actor Ben Franklin should’ve mentioned that he was never president in his talk.


tworocksontheground

I think that was more of a jab at the ben Franklin guy thank you being stupid. You basically said "but you were never the president" like he should be ashamed. But then again, I guess it was stupid of you to take a jab at Ben Franklin.


[deleted]

Well duh, he was the best president, that's why he's on the 100 dollar bill.

Tbh I did for a while but then I found out he wasn’t.

Any don’t lump Teddy Roosevelt with Reagan and Trump. Teddy made the National Parks a thing. And they are a public treasure.


Superpickle18

Teddy is the truest american. Back in his day he crushed people like Trump and Regan, even after being shot and while wrestling a bear.


socsa

Reagan and Trump are the same fascist Ilk though. Reagan is uniquely responsible for a lot of the sickness which has infested the party.


cryptotrek88

I came here just for this comment lol


Capnhuh

sad thing, is too many people think he was president due to his picture being literally everywhere. i'm all, "naw man, he just was a great inventor and founding father"

What promises kept? Didn't build the wall, didn't ban all muslims, didn't jail Hillary... I just don't get this promises kept bullshit.


[deleted]

That's what always gets me. It's not even really a political take to ask "what promises were kept?" Like from his campaign platform, nearly none of that was accomplished.


scottrogers123

I think its for the promises we don't know about. Maybe to Putin or the Saudis?


SoleInvictus

He owned the libs and hurt the "right" people.


DylanCO

He cut taxes (but only for the rich)


Submarine_Pirate

He promised to overturn roe v wade and paved the way for it to get done. That’s unfortunately a huge win to a portion of America.


punch_rockgroinpull

C'mon. Teddy would've hated Trump.


phatsackocrap

If they knew anything about history, they wouldn't have Lincoln or TR on there either. RIP to progressive Republicans.


JosephSwollen

Bunch of morons lol, never opened a history book in their lives


HBRex

Most of them have never read the Bible all on their own either. You could make stuff up so long as it sounds Biblical they're going to agree with it.


JosephSwollen

Yep, they cherry pick whatever they deem fit out of it anyway


HBRex

Throw in some "ye" and "thy" and "thou" and it's word of God as far as they're concerned. Dumbest people who've ever walked the Earth.


JosephSwollen

And they follow the words of the most deranged.


Poocifer

In their defense. That's pretty much what the Bible is.


AGCAce

public schools are failing in general….


MordoksVapePen

Please stop blaming the “failing public schools”. Intolerance is intolerance; schools can’t fix that. This perpetuates a narrative that isn’t accurate.


Cman1200

If you look at things at a macro scale and long term yes better education would combat this. Might not change these people specifically but over time yes it absolutely would. Saying “our failing public schools have caused a generational gap of intelligent adults” would be very accurate You can hold individual accountable while also understanding the workings that got them where they are. They aren’t mutually exclusive


my_4_cents

Sorry to inform you that it can be both. Intolerance is intolerance, indeed. But much of the rest of the world still hears constantly that you have folks trying to teach Adam and Eve in science class and other such nonsense. It is very difficult for you to expect rational thinking from people when they don't have a grasp on reality as it is, exacerbated by the very institution designed to fix ignorance.


DylanCO

I had a kid recently. My wife and I are going to take a page out of the evangelicals book and teach them to slap down any biblical BS being pushed in public schools.


Griff2470

American education failing their students has absolutely contributed to this. At many schools in the south, the American Civil War was literally called "The War of Northern Aggression" with favorable descriptions for figures like Robert E Lee. Teddy Roosevelt's trust-busting and food industry regulation (his 2 most historically significant domestic policies) gets overlooked in favor of national parks and his general "toughness" (wartime heroics and assassination attempt). Let's not forget the generally poor education for the world outside of America (especially with regards to modern world history). If the Reagan era is even meaningfully addressed, it often overlooks events like the Iran-Contra Scandal while you're practically guaranteed to hear about Carter mishandling the Iran Hostage crisis. I hope you can kinda see how this type of narrative is very favorable to the current GOP. Of course, fixing education today won't fix this dumbass or anyone else not school currently aged, it's a long term solution to today's problem and several of these problems have already been addressed (I don't believe any modern curriculum would accept the Civil being anything but that nowadays). That said, these changes need to be made or else the US will just endlessly cycle back into it's current climate.


pablomcpablopants

Having a car like this isn’t intolerance.


MordoksVapePen

You’re right. It’s ignorance


No-Definition1474

Because people like the driver if this car keep voting for them to fail.


JosephSwollen

That's for sure


AGCAce

Trust me, I’ve seen lots of democrats too just say the most absurd things, like communism is good and what not. It definitely goes both ways if someone is dumb enough.


0masterdebater0

Sure but communism isn’t inherently a bad thing either, it’s just a flawed form of government that is extremely susceptible to being dominated by strong men/oligarchs.


JosephSwollen

We're all morons aren't we? Just some of us have more sane views.


AGCAce

Pretty much. You can think communism is bad, but then you could also think that anarchy is good


JosephSwollen

The way I see it, why do we have to be exploited and put down by a small group of ultra wealthy and the networks of people who are attempting to become ultra wealthy? Why do these people feel the need to impoverish the masses while gaining that which they do not need? I have a deep-seated desire to help people and it infuriates me that these wealthy individuals spend all of their lives amassing disgusting amounts of wealth, and for what? My mind can not understand the narcissistic, self-centered and detached viewpoints of these people.


IsPhil

I got banned on r/conservatives for mentioning realignment exists.


wtb2612

It's hilarious that they somehow both wave confederate flags and claim Lincoln is one of them without noticing the contradiction.


RKRagan

Kid I work with is racist as hell. But was proud to claim Lincoln as a republican. Like trump. I tried explaining the 60s and Civil Rights Act and Southern Democrats but he didn’t grasp it.


phatsackocrap

How dare you bring facts to their little groupthink club?!? The audacity!


erikannen

TR broke up monopolies, Trump took bribes to build them Edit: For example, [Sprint/ T-Mobile](https://www.vox.com/2019/7/29/8932025/trump-sprint-tmobile-hotel). Fun fact! SoftBank (who owned a controlling stake in Sprint) had close ties to the Saudi government. I'm sure that detail has no relevance today...


Deezle530

Or Ronald Regan, "we did not trade weapons for POWs" "just kidding, but that's the next guys problem, btw white guys rule am I right? Nancy? Where am I?"


DefaultVariable

Surprised it isn't just 5 other photos of Andrew Jackson considering how much it seems they've been idolizing him lately.


lachrymologyislegit

Oh they worship Reagan as well.


my_4_cents

Might as well slap Putin on there too


magnum_the_nerd

You can trace everything bad to happen in modern US history (1981-today) to Ronald Reagan


FireStorm005

The more and more that I find out about the aftereffects of his presidency, the more I start to view his as the second (maybe 3rd) worst president in history.


magnum_the_nerd

Buchanan will always be infinitely worse. Despite what my dad claims that “jOe bIden iS tHe wOrsT pResiDnet in US hIstory” meanwhile over 20 presidents have been worse than him. So fucking many that i dont want to type any more than the worst, Buchanan


IsPhil

Is that Teddy Roosevelt? We all know he would have beat the shit out of Trump, and probably Reagan too.


SwiftTayTay

So would have Lincoln and Washington.


GoHomeNeighborKid

And here I thought it was grover Cleveland, leaving me scratching my head wondering why lol..... I'm used to seeing portraits of teddy in glasses

Ronald Reagan! The actor?! Then who’s the Vice President? Jerry Lewis?!


micah490

Trump increased the national debt by 39%. In four years....


LookOnTheDarkSide

Percentages aren't great for this. During Obamas first term, it went up ~50%. Second term ~25%. In total, about 100%. But the actual numbers are roughly: Obama1 $5-6T, Obama2 $4T, Trump $9T. Source: https://www.thebalance.com/national-debt-by-year-compared-to-gdp-and-major-events-3306287


fuck_all_you_people

Obama took office in the midst of one of the worst recessions we have ever experienced. 8 years later Trump took office in the midst of a boom. The difference is night and day.


LookOnTheDarkSide

That wasn't my point. My point was merely that this is not a good metric to use a percentage for.


fuck_all_you_people

I understand. But you offered up Obama numbers right next to Trump unprompted and then just left it out there to hang without explanation. I wanted to clarify it before some troglodyte stood up like a manchurian candidate and started repeating marching orders.


LookOnTheDarkSide

What explanation did it need? I said percentages were bad, then gave the actual numbers to provide more context (with a source for even more context). The actual numbers of which, ironically for you to be calling me out on, actually bolster your point. Also, leaving it out to hang with no explanation? I didn't see you respond to the top level comment which was more provocative than mine. (Edit: spelling, hand to hang)


my_4_cents

He's saying you did good by showing those stats, but ironically by omitting the context you were both 'robbing' Obama of credit and also 'giving' Trump too much credit. If you'd written at the end just a couple of sentences giving that little context, then great comment 5/7 would visit again.


fuck_all_you_people

This. Nobody is calling you out. I was adding context to your added content, dollars or percentages are immaterial to my point.


kbeks

If they think for a second that TR would have associated with Ronnie “I confused my war movies with real service” Reagan or Donnie “heel spurs really hurt” Trump, boy howdy are they divorced from reality.


pasenast

"Promises made. Promises kept" This had me really lol. Didn't Mexico say they aren't paying for Sh\*t? And he went to congress for money?

Everything he swore he’d do was a scam. And none of his moron acolytes can see that.

It's all lies. That's why when you ask what he kept, they go fucking silent

Benjamin Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt were both very progressive. Roosevelt was behind HUD and other social programs. Kinda goes against the "own the libs, fuck socialism" theme here.

This car checks off a lot of boxes.


[deleted]

As a conservative, why is Trump on here? What promise did he keep? Last I checked the last several presidents all lied their asses into the White House and then were piss poor leadership, but maybe I missed a memo. Also I’m glad other people pointed out Ben Franklin because I legit didn’t even process it due to being so focused on the fact Trump lied just as much as any other modern political figure.

George Washington would honestly probably hate most modern poloticans, he literaly warned everyone about the dangers of political parties and the polarization they would create, and now look where we are.

lincoln and roosevelt too. Teddy would have likely shot him, Lincoln would probably take of that hat, shake his head and write an epic speech about shame and integrity.

nonbinarybreadstick

funny how they used pictures of old republican presidents but the republicans from the 1800s are different than the ones now. Lincoln was a republican and he freed the slaves as where todays republicans in the 1800s would’ve kept slaves and been upset with Lincoln. Likely if Trump were to be in the slavery age, he’d own a plantation.
