I remember a Clinton presidency would be the end of the USA..
No wait it was a second CLinton term.
Then is was an Obama presidency what would be the end of the USA.
No wait, it was a second Obama term..
And still here we are...amazing.
I think your memory is faulty. I lived through those times, too. Carter did visibly more to destroy the country than those you name. It was amazing that we survived that.
We may be here but is this still America the land of opportunity, of individual freedom, of strive for your dreams or are we EU light?
