I love the tonal mismatch here "Just sit back and laugh??? While the government is run by the best president ever and everything is wonderful???"

In a conversation with POLITICO, Spacey, a strong advocate for the arts and humanities, was asked which president had done the most for the arts. His response: Richard Milhous Nixon was the most progressive President ever

Nixon should've let the Vietnam war go on another couple years so we'd have fewer boomers.

Shipon posted:"Sounds like you want a coup" buddy I want more than a loving coup I want a cultural revolution that would make mao blush, purge every element of Americanism out of this society What exactly does this dope think the political climate was leading up to his buddy's New Deal plan anyway? Force or threat of force is historically the only hing that breaks the power of the ruling class, if only for a generation or two.

a bunch of good reforms were passed under Nixon because domestic pressure was so intense. To the point where there were literally urban guerrillas and regular bombings across the US. Granted, those guerrillas were mostly ineffective, but it shows how raucous the political scene at the time had become.

Thoguh posted:Seems totally normal to take the position that nothing can legally stand between a president and his ability to take a walk wherever he wants to at any time. I can really see how our completely ineffectual and corrupt government would use that statement. They would throw a provision into a trillion page bill that all police officers can technically be considered a "President." Therefore anywhere they want to go, and anything they do to get there, is completely legal. Cyborg Nancy will claim to be really concerned about this before passing legislation that funds robocops so our brave heroes don't have to risk anything.

"Both parties are staunchly pro-imperialism." I think this is a phrase that is tossed around flippantly without much examination. "Staunchly?" Eh... At times, perhaps, but Clinton's Iraq bombing was hardly imperialist so much as it was opportunist (which, honestly, is worse). Libya was a multilateral UN action after which the Libyan government asked everyone to stay longer. The drone program is definitely problematic, but evidence of staunch pro-imperialism? Again, I say, eh... I don't think the Democratic Party in 2021 is "staunchly pro-imperialism."
