5. If Watergate happened today

Everyone would just shrug. The FBI wouldn't even investigate it like they did back then. Maybe WaPo would still investigate it but I doubt most people would care.

So, yeah, it could be just like Watergate but corruption in our politics is so out of control that what use to be a scandal is now a yawn.

You can thank the corruption of capitalism and it's free fall into destruction and failure.
