CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From Wikipedia:
From a young age, Carter showed a deep commitment to evangelical Christianity.[456][457] Carter taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.[458] At a private inauguration worship service, the preacher was Nelson Price, the pastor of Roswell Street Baptist Church of Marietta, Georgia.[459] An evangelical Christian, Carter appealed to voters after the scandals of the Nixon Administration, and is credited with popularizing the term "born again" into American lexicon during the 1976 American presidential campaign.[457][460][461][462] As president, Carter prayed several times a day, and professed that Jesus was the driving force in his life. He was greatly influenced by a sermon he had heard as a young man that asked: "If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?"[463] In 2000, after the Southern Baptist Convention announced it would no longer permit women to become pastors, he renounced his membership, saying: "I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church."[464] He remained a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.[456] Carter's support for the Equal Rights Amendment[465] led many evangelical conservatives to leave the Democratic Party, contributing to the development of the Christian right in American politics.[466]

Fault Christians as you like but if there's one thing we are good at, it's hope. We're kinda called to be good at it.
I think a lot of well intentioned people hope that Trump is Christian.

I feel bad about carter's reputedly bad presidency because I gotta tell you he is an exemplary human being that Christians (and non) could strive to be like and the world would be better.

Carter was a pain to work for because he tended to micromanage. It even directly affected me. Reagan, OTOH, was great to work for. But my opinion of their politics was opposite of my opinion of them as bosses.
Carter also had the bad luck to be president when a great many forces beyond American control went south.
