That was over 50 years ago.
While I understand the sentiment, today is a vastly different political landscape. The right wing knows it and feeds off of it.
51 years ago, Nixon had to resign for what he did. If he had done those things today, nobody in the GOP or the media would bat an eye. And then when he died, they'd name some airports and buildings after him. They no longer have shame. Good luck trying to sit down with them and expect them to be reasonable.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
