Who do you think was the most left-wing and the most right-wing president in the history of United States?

I mean - both in economy and world-view combined.

The most leftwing... Thats between the current administration, FDR, and Woodrow Wilson.

The most rightwing is very tricky to answer. The most conservative is unquestionably George Washington pretty much by default, but his presidency predates the concepts of left vs right politics, which came around during the French Revolution. The most pro-life is Donald Trump. The most religious is highly debatable as all but two presidents (Jefferson and Lincoln) claimed to be religious and in almost all cases Protestants. It's probably Calvin Coolidge as the most rightwing president overall. It's definitely not anyone since Eisenhower, and he wasn't particularly rightwing either.

The most right wing president was probably Andrew Jackson. The most left wing president is a tie between Obama and Biden; I think Obama was perhaps more ideologically leftist but kept it hidden better than does Biden.

[Cubus]

I wouldn't say Biden is very left-wing. People that stand behind him - yep, but not him himself.

[OlderAndWiser]

It's the direction in which the country is moving under his "leadership."

[Cubus]

In this case - yes, I agree.

[Lucy68]

I want to say Bill Clinton or Biden for left wing. Right wing I don't know

[Cubus]

I honestly think Obama was more left wing than Clinton and Biden.

[Lucy68]

True, don't know why I forgot him he was something else

[ronaldo75]

How the FUCK do you think Obama was more left-wing than Clinton?

[Slingblade1126]

FDR was by far the most liberal. It's tough to say who the most conservative was, because they were all posers! They may have been socially conservative but fiscally, they were as liberal as anyone else. Maybe Reagan?

[Cubus]

Yeah, I was thinking about FDR and Reagan.

[ronaldo75]

FDR was the most left-wing by FAR.
Most right-wing is a tie between Teddy Roosevelt and LBJ.
Teddy Roosevelt was the most imperialistic and Nationalistic.
LBJ was hands-down the most racist president we've ever had.

[Dargil]

Left: Biden, Obama, Carter and Wilson.
Right: Trump, Reagan, Washington and Lincoln.

[Cubus]

I would say FDR was more left-wing than Carter.

[Dargil]

I debated with myself on that.

[AviatorTom]

Interesting question...

Left wing liberal - FDR
Right wing conservative - Herbert Hoover

[Guy13]

Woodrow Wilson (League of Nations/UN)

[Cubus]

And the most right-wing?
