JFK stole his election.
The State Department, Hollywood, and academia were infested with Communists working in league with the KGB. This nation was on a downward trajectory when these traitors were permitted to provide aid and comfort and subversive anti-American support to our enemy in the Cold War.
We dodged a bullet when FDR changed his VP in his final term. We could’ve had an outright Communist in the White House long before Obama.
We’re in general agreement. JFK’s election was crooked. Both LBJ and RMN were snookered. However, they sure as hell got even, albeit at the expense of the nation. Once lost, confidence in our federal institutions and in established media has never recovered, how could it? As for the balance of your remarks I won’t quibble.
