UPDATE 7/21/2024: Joe Biden is still alive and has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
Hello everyone. I recently learned about this story of a curse that was placed many many years ago. It's called the Curse of Tippecanoe. Now for those who aren't aware of this story, allow me to share.
William Henry Harrison, the 9th president of the United States, was allegedly cursed by an American Indian which may have been the reason why he and presidents who were elected in a year ending with zero died/nearly died while in office.
Harrison died from typhoid fever (elected in 1840), Lincoln was assassinated (1860), Garfield was assassinated (1880), McKinley was assassinated (1900), Harding died from a heart attack (1920), FDR died from a cerebral hemorrhage (1940) and JFK was assassinated (1960).
Ronald Reagan (1980) was nearly killed but survived and George W Bush (2000) was nearly killed by someone who threw a grenade that ended up not exploding. I also want to add that Bush once fainted after choking on a pretzel.
And now here we are, a few months after the 2020 election took place. Biden wins...
So, do you guys think this curse is real?
Here's my take on it. I think it is real. I mean, come on, it can't be a coincidence that SEVEN presidents who were elected on a year ending in zero have died in office. Although I will say that I'm not sure I can blame the curse for FDR's death. Being president is a super stressful job and the guy served 12 years! But still, this is too weird of a pattern.
As for how Reagan and Bush survived, let me bring up the fact that while Reagan was in office, he had an astrologer help him make decisions. So perhaps, Reagan took this curse seriously and used his astrologer's predictions to survive. Maybe he went a step further and turned to astrology to try and at least make the curse less potent which would probably explain how Bush made it out alive.
If this is true, then I think Biden will be fine. Maybe a few close calls but that's about it. Kinda makes sense given the state of the U.S. right now.
I don't know. Just my take on it. Again, what do you guys think?
