The Crazy Conservative Scheme to Make Trump Look Normal: Rehabilitate Nixon

Quote:
“He is by and away the most underappreciated president of our modern history in this country — probably in all of American history,” said Ramaswamy, without a hint of irony.
Quote:
Across the right-of-center media sphere, examples of Nixonmania abound. Online, popular conservative activists are studying the history of Nixon’s presidency as a “ blueprint for counter-revolution” in the 21st century. In the pages of small conservative magazines, readers can meet the “ New Nixonians” who are studying up on Nixon’s foreign policy prowess. On TikTok, users can scroll through meme-ified homages to Nixon. And in the weirdest (and most irony laden) corners of the internet, Nixon stans are even swooning over the former president’s swarthy good looks.

This is rewriting history at an stratospheric level and the MAGAts have found a new hero in Nixon? They do love crooked politicians.

Very interesting!

As to Vivek, it is becoming clear: one should not underestimate him. Vivek is quick on his feet. He has destroyed the heavily promoted Nicky.

BTW there nothing crazy about the effort.

Not around here he hasn't (Eastern Massachusetts), I haven't heard a peep outta him. Haley has a few different commercials running, attacking both Biden and Trump, and Trump has that cringy one about building the wall to keep Hamas out, and not one single Ramaswamy commercial. "Destroyed"? Hardly.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics...20top%20choice.

"Donald Trump is the first choice of roughly half (52%) of Republican and Republican-leaning independent registered voters for the Republican nomination for president in 2024. Far smaller shares name Ron DeSantis (14%), Nikki Haley (11%), Vivek Ramaswamy (3%) or Chris Christie (1%) as their top choice."

Vivek is like your neighbors yapping dog that won't shut up. Some people like it because it's cute, but it's annoying to most others.

Lauren Boebert punched her ex-husband Jayson in the nose twice at a Colorado restaurant and then called the cops on him. More trouble in paradise.

I feel sorry for their kids. Like the saying goes, you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family

GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik won’t commit to certifying the 2024 election results
“We will see if this is a legal and valid election,” Stefanik, a member of House GOP leadership and a Donald Trump ally, said in an interview with “Meet the Press.”

Whell's World. Never let facts get in the way of your "reality".
