You will not get any more Eisenhowers, because post-Eisenhower events built durable common knowledge among Red Tribe that Eisenhower was, in fact, a chump [when he complied with Supreme Court rulings that he disagreed with]. None of this is new; we've been debating this for about a decade at this point, and the point of view you're arguing against is supported by quite a bit of solid evidence.

Previously Supreme Commander of the Allies during WWII: to destroying Joseph ‘Tailgunner Joe’ McCarthy by basically doing nothing, then said that ‘McCarthyism was McCarthyWASm’, further ignoring that… thing to die a pickled irrelevance. The last decent Republican president. There’s solid evidence alright.

That the only chump here is you, OP.

You’re supposed to comply with Supreme Court rulings you disagree with. Eisenhower complied because he wasn’t a criminal, unlike a certain successor of his.

…So people who follow the law now are bad? Did I wake up on the wrong side of the looking glass this morning? What is this shit?

If you claim Eisenhower was a chump for following the law, you're not fit to shine his shoes.

So, Eisenhower should have supported Southern segregationists while trampling on the SCOTUS’s authority? Unfortunately for the “Red Tribe”, Eisenhower wasn’t a caudilo but a constitutional head of state.

So you’re a chump if you follow the word of the highest court in all America with powers that are always superior to yours?

Man, the American right has really devolved into the blind being led by the blind being led by the braindead who salivate over every one of Trump’s words.
