That’s nice.
The election stolen by Jack Kennedy in 1960. It was the trend-setting triumph of pure hosshiite over any remaining semblance of human reason. Remember, parents who were 30-something in the 1980's grew up under Eisenhower and had been taught by responsible adults themselves ... more than likely Depression and WWII survivors. Those in my generation who knew better, (20 y.o. in 1960, were powerless and too inexperienced) to prevent the Takeover of the Institutions by the Left, which was already well under way, not to mention serving in the military while the home front crumbled.
IMHO, the slow death spiral down the drain of history accelerated at the point of that election. The country is still divided 50/50, i.e., those who still think Jack Kennedy is this country's answer to Christ, Buddha, and Alexander the Great, and those of us who know he was the diseased, dishonest, lazy, spectaculary inept, and sex-maniacal fool who stumbled us into VietNam.
Bobby and Jack? The Holy Martyrs who shared Marilyn Monroe.... anything wrong with that picture? Ted? His legacy benefits only because the Third Worlders with which he sought to re-people the Republic, and succeeded, will never even be able to spell "Chappaquiddick," and yet these people are gods, to about half of the American public.
Can't run a real country that way. Hope the CHICOM are kind to our posterity.
