    P.S. Never should have killed that fuckin Gorilla…

    Honestly it really started to go wrong with the Bush V Gore election and SC fuckery in '00. The gorilla was just icing on the cake.

      What about when Reagan (allegedly) conspired with the Iranians to sabotage Carter’s chances of winning the election?

        Heh and to think Carter was putting solar panels on top the White House, but America has always had a hard on for the corrupt snake oil salesman.

        Or Nixon conspiring with the VC to delay peace in Vietnam until after the election. Honestly the fuckery really started back in the late 50s and early 60s if we’re looking for the roots of our current fascist problem.

        Spend a bit of time watching Ken Burns Vietnam documentary at some point, it’s an eye opener w.r.t. the current Republican strategy.

          1912 Woodrow Wilson. Among so many other things he expanded the powers of the president to tyrannical proportions with the sedition and insurrection act, and segregated the federal government.
