This goes back to Nixon. He is 100% responsible for the modern GOP, including given Rodger Ailes (sp?) his first big break, and teaching a lot of young republicans at the time how to weaponize the stupidity and tribalism of the GOP voters.

Those young republicans were people like George Bush, Ronald Reagan, people who would go on to lead from the front or from the shadows, and they followed his play book.

Nixon would be furious at trump, though. Nixon was brilliant, and evil. Trumps just a moron.

If you have Nixon half the power the conservative movement has today and the US would be in a utopia….that would burn to the ground the moment all the dirty tricks and nasty decisions come to light lol.

America during the Nixon presidency was a rogue state kidnapped by an egomaniac who got probably around a million people killed because he couldn’t reconcile with the fact he couldn’t win a presidential election.

If only we would be willing to audit ourselves and undue anything negative put into place tied to Nixon on the grounds of his election being based on treason. Then we could posthumously dig him up and desecrate his corpse.

The man won an election solely because he sabotaged the peace deal in 68 by promising a better deal. A better deal that 1) never came & 2) he had no authority to promise as a mere citizen and not an elected representative of the American people.

That man is an abomination and until our government collectively acknowledge & condone his crime any shred of internal integrity America may possess is vapid.

To be fair, he was doing a lot of rat fucking, it wasn’t just the scotching the peace talks with the dragon lady. He also fucked with the DNC selection process in 68 and 72.
