Calling the Bohemian Grove faggoty was the chillest thing Nixon ever did. Not a good guy but it was a well aimed diss.

You need a pretense of bipartisanship to cut social security and sell the next generation of foreign wars. They were supposed to happen under Obama but Obama dragged his heels on the wars and Ted Cruz derailed social security "reform"

Nixon was a goonquote:Nixon proposed to his wife, Pat, on their first date, and then obsessively pursued her for two years until she said yes. To spend time with her in the interim, Nixon even drove Pat on dates with other men.

jBrereton posted:im permabanned poster goldwaterfan58. i first started reading neoliberal fanfic when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "blamelessness" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "wikileaks is an FSB clearing house" and "the public require guidance" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start falling into vans etc, basically premature parkinsons. im now on experimental horse drugs. i always wondered what the kind of "velvet gloved" style of governance was all about; i think it's the public position leaking into the private belief, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" corporatism to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

nixon once had a nervous breakdown in the middle of the night, snuck out of the white house and ran away from the secret service. he made it to the lincoln memorial and hung out with a bunch of hippies who were camped there for whatever reason until the service came to gently escort him home e: also nixon would go to his house in california, which i forget the name of, every summer. he'd sit in the study with the air conditioning turned on maximum, the lights off and all the blinds and curtains drawn and he'd sit in front of a roaring fire in the middle of august for hours, with strict instructions to be left alone, because he was a lunatic nixon owned chernobyl kinsman fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Oct 16, 2016 |

These things were supposed to happen under Obama, but Obama dragged his heels and Ted Cruz derailed literally everything Rand Paul hadn't already derailed.

nigga crab pollock posted:well good thing you're not being forced to vote for anyone right My Dad voted for Reagan in the 1980 election as a joke, thinking it was impossible he would win. I have a reflexive tendency to want to avoid anything like that. In all honesty my vote is probably not all that meaningful, as my state is 99% likely to go for Clinton anyway, but it just doesn't feel like good timing for a protest vote.

my favorite nixon moment was the part on the tapes where he said abortion was ok in the case of a white and black then a long pause ... or a rape, I guess, I dunno but definitely in the case of a black and a white
