Former President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29 at the age of 100, has been laid to rest in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, following a state funeral held in Washington, D.C. "He was the last president to actively encourage participation and involvement in governmental processes by the progressive civil community," remembers the celebrated civil society and consumer advocate Ralph Nader. Nader compares Carter's progressive credentials to President-elect Donald Trump's flouting of the law and embrace of dangerous beliefs like climate denialism. Carter "brought the best out of people," Nader says, while "Trump brings the worst out of people."
