    Another thing you haven’t mentioned is that Nixon had destroyed McGovern in the 72 election. He won every state but MA!

    It was insane how far he fell. Watergate proved all his opponents right. And yes, his party turned on him. Half of Republican voters still liked him after his resignation but he literally couldn’t get another job anywhere.

    I recommend going to the Nixon presidential library. They really try to whitewash the events but it literally stops listing things he did after Watergate. Other presidents didn’t even hang out with him.

      Oh, boo hoo, he didn’t have any friends and had to be well fed and lonesome in a mansion

      He should have fucking hung, for prolonging the Vietnam war by five years and hundreds of thousands of bodies if for nothing else

        Lol. Hanging people is for us regular folks, not people responsible for the death and suffering of millions.
