Republicans Now Saying Nixon Did Nothing Wrong

[UCmeNdc]

[Chainfire]

1. They are correct only in a comparison with Trump.

At the time, Republicans and Democrats knew that Nixon was a crook. George Orwell warned us about the types of people who rewrite history.

[spanone]

2. And Pol Pot was really a very nice guy.

[mucifer]

3. Nixon didn't do EVERYTHING wrong. Holy crap he had SOME good policies . True he

didn't really believe in democracy or watergate wouldn't have happened.

But, he for sure was less evil.

[Big Blue Marble]

5. This crowd would have never nominated Nixon.

He would be too "liberal" for them, practically a socialist in their eyes.

[edhopper]

4. Ben Stein

always said Nixon was innocent. It's not a new thing.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Psychopaths believe they have a right to do whatever they want.

All the power, money, resources in the world belong to them.

They are special and important.

They see the rest of the world as stupid losers who deserve what they get.

[Johonny]

7. They are pro EPA, ROE V WADE, and school bussing

or do they not actually know the things that happened during the Nixon administration?

[chriscan64]

13. I get that your question is rhetorical, but no.

They do not know the history of 2020 to 2021 when a coup was attempted, and troves of government documents were hoarded at a golf resort. I would say that history is being forgotten if it were ever learned in the first place.

18. Add the 18-year old vote, end of military draft, food stamp expansion, ping-pong diplomacy

...Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, NEPA, Endangered Species Act. Nixon or even Goldwater would not even rate "RINO" these days. They'd be labeled as far-left activist pinko commies.

[Emile]

8. Nixon was a politician that turned into a crook, Trump was a crook

that turned into a politician. Both had the magic R beside their names.

10. +1

[LiberalFighter]

9. They weren't there.

[FakeNoose]

11. More gaslighting ... do we really have to do this again?

[sop]

12. This sort of MAGA revisionism won't stop till everything is viewed through their distorted prism of

reactionary rightwing extremism. We're through the looking glass with these people. Soon they'll be telling us slavery wasn't such a bad thing and women never really wanted the vote.

[TheRealNorth]

14. Exactly

[Zambero]

19. And blacks were better off under Jim Crow

Gays wanted to stay in the closet. Social Security and Medicare were foisted upon seniors. Food stamps cut boot straps. Etc. Etc.

[chriscan64]

15. Soon has already happened depending on who you talk to.

I used to work with a guy who complained about the freeing of slaves being unfair to slave owners because it was the government telling them what to do. His words. I pointed out that the essence of slavery is telling people what to do, to no effect on his thick skull.

[NowISeetheLight]

16. Slavery?

Heck it was for the benefit of the slaves… it let them “migrate” to Christianistan… (I mean America). I read something a while back on the Freedom From Religion Foundation that some preacher said something like “a slave that knew God was better off than a free atheist” back in the 1800s.

Time had a good article on slavery and the Bible being used to justify it. It’s disgusting.

17. Since they turn a blind eye

Trumps actions. This is not a leap. The gopers are all law and otder when it concerns certain people. The gop back in the 70s at least had integrity.

[LeftInTX]

20. I think lots of them said that...

Yes, his party in congress was gonna flip, but it was short-lived

I remember the Rs were analyzing it soon after he resigned.
