The republicans will blame all the disastrous results of their policies on us.
Never underestimate the gullibility of the American public.
If it works the way they hope we might get the shitgibbon re-elected in 2020.

republicans will have a setback just as they had a setback when nixon got the boot.
watergate should have decimated the republican party.
but we got one single presidential victory out of it.

and a perfectly decent president got slammed for inflation that was the fault of nixon and ford and opec, and an iranian kidnapping of americans that was partially funded by reagan and bush to extend until after the election (inauguration even). and republicans bounced right back and have been far stronger than they were in the decades before carter.

as long as foxnews and voter suppression and right-wing bias in the media and virtually unrestricted billionaire campaign cash and russian influence all continue, they could easily do something similar.


in the scheme of things, getting rid of donnie is really just the low-hanging fruit.

After Watergate and Nixon's resignation, a bunch of reform-minded Democrats were swept into office in the 1974 and 1976 elections, and of course Carter won the Presidency, and then 4 years later here comes Reagan and all of our problems go back to him, IMO. I was just a kid then, and I don't really remember how the Democrats campaigned, but I suspect they didn't go for the jugular as they should have done!
