Who was the last decent Republican president?
I was born during the Reagan era, which means that the Republican Party I have known is the greedy, racist and warmongering political organization that has brought us Donald Trump. But, at what point did they became such an evil force in American politics? Who was the last Republican president that could be described as a decent human being with good intentions, even in disagreement with his policies?
The Correct DU Answer is: There were no 'good' Republican Presidents.
Even Lincoln was racist.

56. Ike had some serious faults too.
I'm reading at the moment a book by the cartoonist Herbert Block, written about 1958.
Ike had some real problems, not the least of which was his goon, John Foster Dulles.
Ike would also ignore problems until they became a crisis.

132. Benjamin Harrison from 1889-1893.
I could've said Ike as well, but I dare to be crazy and irrelevant today.
I prefer Republicans whose terms ended before the 20th century. Their infections tend to run their course after 100 or so years for the most part.

Andrew Jackson's AG, and SecTreas: Roger B. Taney
And the President who screened "Birth of a Nation" in the White House and whose MalAdministration purged blacks out of Federal employment: Woodrow Wilson

Translation: Who was the last Republican President that gave us anything we wanted unopposed?
-
Who was the last good (d) president?
I have to go with Truman.

I think it's almost save to fill in Jan 20, 2025 for Trump the way these clowns are going.

You forgot to factor in subsequent R's.
Pence for 8
Sarah Sanders for 8
Up and comers until Barron is olď enough.

And the President who screened "Birth of a Nation" in the White House and whose MalAdministration purged blacks out of Federal employment: Woodrow Wilson
Yep, he gets my vote for the worst president in our history.
I'd also add that the White House screening of 'Birth of a Nation' and especially his glowing endorsement of it (I believe his exact words were "It was like writing history with lightning. My only regret is it was so terribly true.") are very widely believed to have been one of the major factors that brought about the start of the second age of the KKK.
