Likening people in the U.S. illegally to “human locusts,” Zuchowski wrote on a personal Facebook account and his campaign’s account: “When people ask me… What’s gonna happen if the Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say … write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” That way, Zuchowski continued, when migrants need places to live, “we’ll already have the addresses of their New families … who supported their arrival!”

    We never really left that era, they were just good at hiding it for a while.

      I’d say it’s more that we have a short memory as a society, and that they never really bothered to hide it, we’re just noticing it again.

        Nah, at most people stepped down on disgrace. I mean what do we have to go on here, Nixon stepping down from threat of impeachment, Clinton taking a b****** in the oval office?

        You have to go all the way down to congressman to find anybody in prison. As you go down through congressman and governors a large number of them have been overturned.

        Look at the amount of s*** that Trump did outright illegal that would have gotten anybody in middle or lower class throw away for decades. And he still walking free. Maybe we’ll get lucky soon I don’t know…

        Maybe we’ll get lucky and change that shortly…

          Wasn’t Nixon so far gone with Alzheimer’s that they wouldn’t have been able to get him certified as of sound mind?

            I think you are thinking of Reagan. He went downhill quick. We were all joking around or semi joking that it was Nancy running the White House at that point.

            Nixon was a little paranoid and erratic around the watergate scandal but that’s to be expected in high political office and are about to be handed your ass. He lived on for another 20 years after office giving interviews and writing.

              Fair, we get taught a bit of American history at school in Canada, but not loads, and I usually just spaced out during those bits.
