he didn't even do anything illegal, his underlings were just being retarded and he thought he had a duty to protect them because of their long term loyal service

Leftists were angry and wanted to lynch Nixon. That's mostly all it was.

>>18435786
What made them seethe so?

Boomers will tell you about A WATERSHED MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY, A MASSIVE ABUSE OF POWER, A LOSS OF PUBLIC TRUST IN GOVERNMENT, he WIRETAPPED an office. Yeah TEN TIMES worse than *pstein files.

>>18435792
They had it out with him since the 1952 election.

>>18435757
The fact Nixon lied about it and tried to cover it up matters more than what he did desu

>>18435786
Damn those leftists for punishing a corrupt politician!

>>18435837
But not all the corrupt politicians who were from the other party of course.

>>18435757
If you didn't live through that period, there's no sense explaining to you. Boo boo cry me a river.

From the democrat side, it was a form of Nixon Derangement Syndrome. Just think of how the left thinks of Trump; and then consider how they would react if he finally got caught at something.

For the republicans, it was more a matter of someone who you cared about getting honestly caught doing wrong. You feel bad for them, you're worse off because he did what he was caught at; but you're still enough of a believer in rules that you accept that if he broke the rules he had to go.

Mind you, the mentality of the nation (and politicians) has changed. So with Reagan, we got the "if they did wrong but their heart was in the right place, that's OK"; with Clinton we got "can you even define wrong?" and with Trump, we occasionally get "I'm better at being wrong than anyone else"

> what was the big deal
In short... he got caught on tape saying things which technically constituted a crime, obstruction of justice. Since he was caught on tape, there was no way to spin it.

In hindsight Nixon was one of the great American presidents hands down.

lol it's funny but when they first met, Pat was a feminist cuntrag who didn't need no man until he wore down her resistance and molded her into his obedient tradwife

Not so much for the EPA or OSHA though.

>Nixon: Newsweek is totally—it’s all run by Jews and dominated by them. Their editorial pages, the New York Times, the Washington Post—totally Jewish too...
>Graham: And they’re the ones putting out the pornographic stuff…This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country is going down the drain.
>Nixon: Do you believe that?
>Graham: Yessir.
>Nixon: So do I. I can’t ever say it. But I believe it.

Hard to say if he meant literal Jews or meme Jews (meme Jew meaning "person/thing I don't like")

>>18436032
Nixon was probably sloshed on those tapes, all professional men of that generation were drunk pretty much 24/7.

I think almost everyone who deliberately seeks to go after pedophiles is merely a sadist looking for a socially acceptable target for their desires. "Pedo hunters" are always very odd people.

I feel like the jews of the 1960s and 70s were much more hostile to white america than jews today. Which makes me wonder why Americans back then let them have so much power.

You really pick up on it when you watch 70s and 80s movies, and blonde haired people especially are shown to be stupid, brutish bullies. It took me a while to realize "oh, that's just how jews see the goyim".

That’s why there should be a police force that solely exists to dome politicians when they are caught lying or embezzling funds. Would fix 50% of problems

>>18436886
why does that need elaboration? that generation was much closer to the Holocaust, pogroms etc and there was a lot of resentment against people who looked like Nazi supermen. today most anti-Semitic sentiment is from Mudslimes rather than white guys.

>>18436930
Politics were always super corrupt, the Gilded Age was horribly corrupt and that was when it was just white Anglo-descended guys running everything there were no women, Ellis Islanders, etc in any position of power.

>>18436886
>Which makes me wonder why Americans back then let them have so much power
what power did they have outside entertainment? Jews didn't for instance land on the Moon that was all white guys. at best they were just considered a caste of circus clowns people used to entertain them.

>>18436886
they still hate white people, it is just that back then the orchestrated divide was Ellis islanders versus WASPs and various integrated nordics and germanics, remember the jews escaping the pogroms arrived on the same boats as the italians and irish, now it is white men vs everyone else

>>18437003
Jewish men are just considered lumped in with the general category of "white guys" from a SJW pov else Harvey Weinstein would be a free man rn.

>>18437003
>they still hate white people, it is just that back then the orchestrated divide was Ellis islanders versus WASPs and

Not actually true btw it was just Jews and Italians vs WASPs. There were lots of Slavs and other groups that emigrated here but they didn't get into business or entertainment they just became alcoholic blue collar workers in Rust Belt cities.

>>18437013
>Not actually true btw it was just Jews and Italians
same race, different religion

>>18437033
that isn't actually true though?
