“Watergate was a big nothing.”
I disagree.
Watergate was the first coup in the then United States.
This was the first time the Deep State, both political parties and the national media decided a president must go.
All Nixon had was the people and that was not enough. The Deep State, both political parties and the national media were able to convince a large majority that Nixon really was a crook.
They pulled it off and damn near pulled it off again between 2018 and 2021.
Now they are all four happy with the most corrupt man in history in the White House.
In 1972, I was just a working stiff, not very politically aware and not a big Nixon supporter, but even I could see what they were doing.
But the incident itself...the break in to a political headquarters....has happened 100s of times
“Watergate was a big nothing.”
“I disagree.

Probably not the first coup......the probable first was public and bloody.
