(82,615 posts)59. I remember the Nixon situation quite clearly.
I am older than you are.
It was very bad at the time, but Trump makes Nixon look like Mother Theresa in comparison.
Yes Reagan and Bush II were also very bad, but we are in totally new territory right now.
Terrifying and life changing territory.
Yes Trump and his crime syndicate are vicious, ruthless psychopaths who will do anything
for money and power. And they are backed by the wealthy and powerful.
Yes the only chance we have is if the people make enough noise to make the GOP congress
and judiciary actually do the jobs they are paid to do.
Or we watch it all go to its logical conclusion and pick up the pieces at some point.
