My dad was a Democrat yet he believed that LBJ and others inside government were responsible for the JFK assassination.
My dad also believed Nixon was taken down by some in the media along with a group inside government.
the media absolutely hated Nixon, and so did many in his own party. When he started his 2nd term and finally ended the war and brought the POW’s home, his approval rating was 75%. This this stupid story breaks, and with the strategic leaks to the media, they developed a narrative that by August of 74, they had driven his approval rating down to 28%. The mid terms were coming and his own party stabbed him the back to save their own asses. And also, the main reason he resigned was his health. He was drinking heavily and his family pleaded with him to step down. But yes, he was mortally wounded politically.
And he REMAINED a Democrat??
