That’s because Nixon is the one who came up with the culture war strategy that Republicans have been running with ever since. Also the one responsible for the creation of Fox “News” and the 24/7 propaganda that’s resulted from it. Nixon was one pillar of the shit hurricane that our modern government has turned into. The other two pillars being the economic policies of Reagan and the non-stop shit flinging and scandal of Trump. If Nixon or Reagan never happened we’d probably be in a much better position today than we currently are, Trump likely would never have happened.
Yeah. Its so effed up. nixon seemed to be the start but they could not really do the stuff yet then reagan broke through to get things going then like every one just added to it. bush junior showed them how effective voter disenfranchisement was for them and trump that you can get a rabid base to pretty much accept anything as long as its done by your tribe.
yeah but back then saying something as petty as that publically was political suicide. People had some standards for who they voted for back then.

Don’t forget Newt Gingrich. And that cunt Grover Norquist. Fuck, I’d even include Rush Limbaugh.
