    Everyone I knew hated Nixon, adult and peers. I was 16. I will never forget 5PM PST when Walter Cronkite came on and called it for Nixon. They could do that back then. I was shocked. I suspected Russian interference. Macedonian troll farms. Stunned and amazed. Dick ended up with 48 states.

    It was ok to run McGovern because the election was about Nixon and nothing else. Invasion of Cambodia, Kent State, riots on campus. The country hated him I tell you they hated him

    His law and order campaign was completely out of touch with where America was in 1972. Allegedly.

    Not only law and order but also pro-America versus commie supporting dems. McGovern was way out of touch with the US dem congressman. Lots of them were pro-American. Today, they all root for the away team.

    Could it be he's just getting old?
    Probably.

    In that book, he essentially describes getting sick of the shit, much of which he'd eagerly joined in on.
    Yeah he's an amazing writer who I sense is becoming more conservative over time. For most, it's a natural occurrence.
    Eh, I don't think he's any kind of conservative. More that he's fully aware of the bullshit ruining REAL liberalism.
    He's not conservative, but he seems so when directly compared with today's far left
    Welcome to my world

    Long haired FM listening dope smoking McGovern voter is the archest of the arch conservatives here

    The best thing about that Opinion piece is the first letter that follows it in the comments section. It's better Taibbi's OpEd

    That was a good article Derick.

    Follow that guym, twatter, substack, YouTube. Taibibibihiibibi is a lefty and honest.

    Taibibibihiibibi is fucking great. Dialed-in. Anybody who cares about honesty in journalism should follow his stuff.

    This is sounding familiar... Reagan in 84 was also similar no?
