Your way back machine doesn’t work today. Here is why
1. There was only 3 dominate media outlets. At the time they practiced real journalism and had a high level of trust. There are thousands of ways to get news now and the media has lied so much that their credibility is in the royal shitter. Without public trust, they can all get together and what do you have? A large group of liars.
2. Nixon ran away to China, rather than fight. He was not likable, and his tapes as well as the missing 13 minutes was enough to indicate a coverup. His popularity went into the toilet and the media destroyed him. Trump on the other hand fights. He belittles and humiliates his opponents. It pisses them off, but makes him enduring to the public, because they already knew these people were scum.
3. The democraps have nothing on him. They are openly trying to destroy him with every, and anything, and it’s numbing the public, thanks to the help of the media, and this does not go unnoticed by the public. Say what you will about the voting public, 2 things they loathe are liars and bully’s.
4. Trump gets results. The democraps and republicans give excuses.
5. Trump has an act 2, if he can get Barr off his fat ass and the stick out of Horowitz that proves massive corrupt from the DNC that will destroy them, and they know it. Thus the reason for this farce in the first place, its to stop Trump from revealing the truth.
So all Trump needs to do is let this farce continue. It humiliates the DNC and makes the media even less credible. When your opponent is hanging themselves, keep feeding them rope
Nixon never ran away to China. While it is indeed a shame that he did in fact ally with China, even that was specifically in a misguided attempt at destabilizing the USSR. Not to mention he did win us the Vietnam War. Also, I’m pretty sure if Nixon were truly not likeable, he would have at best barely won against McGovern and at worst lost against him, NOT won in a landslide.
But you are right about everything else.
