What would an unironic yes they're all terrible and heads of a state we want abolished caveat included list even look like? Would it be in order of president number as the state has grown larger and hence more oppressive over time? Or are some unequivocally worse than others?

For instance, recency bias and personal effects on my family would lead me to say Reagan was the worst. But Andrew Jackson existed too, but not recently.

And when they say he's done for humanity, they of course mean the rich people who can afford luxury guilt-trip cars.
