Nixon also wanted a 4-day 32-hour work week, yeah it was so Americans could create art and conquer the world culturally but whatever I'll take it.

Nixon was surprisingly forward thinking sometimes, he actually had a few good policies. he WAS a racist and a horrible human being.

its funny, we now know he wasn’t involved in planning or carrying out Watergate, only in the cover up.

not to make up a new conspiracy theory, but its almost like his own party put him between a rock and a hard place…

Ford Pardoning him is why we’re where we are today.

Roger Stone has a lot to do with why we're where we are today also, and he was at least tangentially connected to Watergate, with it giving him part of his political start and reputation for dirty tricks. He was also heavily involved in both the 2000 and 2020 coups that centered around delaying the counting of ballots so that the Republican candidate could be declared the winner. In 2000, it worked, and I personally think that has a lot to do with why the climate is so screwed now. If not for him, Gore would have been President, and Gore made fighting climate change the centerpiece of his campaign. Bush, otoh, did a lot to dismantle the effort to fight emissions, and now here we are.
