You can draw a straight line from the Nixon administration to the Trump administration. Republicans have always been the same insane pieces of shit like Trump is today. We are not going through anything new.
Farther than that even. Installing someone like Trump was the goal of Prescott Bush and his cronies in the 30s with the business plot.
So an insane clown, prone to tantrums, has taken the highest office of the largest empire on the planet and is turning it into a world of ruin… isn’t this just the plot of FF6?
I don’t know, Nixon was pretty racist and pushed a lot of laws to put certain people in prisons.
If watergate happened now it would just be another day of the usual
But also founded the EPA. Due to public pressure but still.
Everyone really just moved all of GWB’s sins onto Obama, huh
Next guy to suggest a celebrity president gets put in front of a sandblaster until they say sorry.
I mean, Reagan was the starting domino that got us here.
More like Wilson → Nixon → Reagan. This shit is OLD.
Your referencing a what if video? There’s a reason why Wilson was elected 4 times, bro.
Nixon too. His Southern Strategy is what Trump used to get elected twice.
Nixon was the starting domino. You can draw a straight line from Nixon to Trump.
You could go all the way to the Three-Fifths Compromise honestly but it’s not as clear of a line but the components are certainly there.
It’s almost like all of our history has led to this.
Seriously, imperialism, genocide/manifest destiny, slavery, the botched reconciliation…
Our entire human history is littered with oppression of “the other”. I could argue that cooperation and trying to recover from oppression is not only rare but relatively new in comparison.
I personally believe that we as humans should strive to better ourselves. However, there are large groups of people who would rather that they win and even larger groups of people that want to see others lose.
And unfortunately those two groups are incompatible in a society.
… worst so far.
America has a habit of scraping the bottom of the barrel and still going further
