    When was the last time there was a conservative president in the US who didn’t cause tremendous lasting damage to the country?

      Eisenhower(?) at the very least id say any damage he may have done was at least somewhat offset by good done. But he was still very much part of the new deal era so he is moreso the exception, besides him im pulling blanks both before and after.
