Um, because he’s Jimmy Carter

A question which really didn’t need to be asked, Why Is Nobody Listening to Jimmy Carter’s Searing Critique of America?

If you told the average American that there was a very powerful politician who, after leaving office, tried to speak out when his conscience was bothered by the actions of his fellow political insiders; if you told them that he abandoned partisanship, calling out even members of his own political tribe; if you told them that he said what he thought to be true even when it was uncomfortable, even when it lost him friends, even when it was seen as a betrayal by other powerful people, who shunned him; if you told Americans all that, you would think they’d express admiration for the mystery man.Yet few celebrate Jimmy Carter.He criticizes America. People don’t like that.
