camelot was a lie
There never was a Camelot except in fantasy and Broadway shows.
a mediocre president barely elected whos only real claim to fame was being shot and messing up cuba
“Camelot” was the result of the first widespread theft of a presidency. It was build on throwing voting machines from Republican districts into the Chicago River to steal Illinois and the fake “victory.”
Newsom 2024 is ready to bring it all back. :).
The whole Camelot thing was placed in the media by Jackie Kennedy after JFK’s death.
Nobody said during JFK’s presidency that we are in the Camelot era because of him and Jackie.
It was only in retrospect that people started calling it the Camelot era , and that was probably due to people’s shock and sadness over Kennedy being assassinated. They wanted to remember him and his time as president.
So the Camelot names stuck. But nobody called that time Camelot while JFK was president.
If he had lived they would have ended up divorced or like the Clintons one in Chappaqua and one in the Hamptons.
Camelot was part of a bigger myth. There was a kind of apostolic succession in the Democratic Party. People who went to Washington DC with Wilson, had students, protegees, and relatives who went to DC with FDR, and they had students, protegees, and relatives who went to DC with JFK. The country couldn't shake off Averill Harriman or Clark Clifford whatever it did. That line was broken with Jimmy Carter and 12 years of Republicans in the White House. Now they have a new myth, and we have a new succession: Clinton to Obama to Biden.
Camelot was a myth that Jackie herself invented. She handed it off to the press and the propaganda wing of the People’s Socialist Party (AKA the mainstream media) has been running with it ever since.
How “Camelot-ish” could it be knowing you’re married to a drug-addicted serial adulterer?
