“Indeed, Nixon, not Trump, should be our role model.”
Not Nixon the President, Nixon the politician. You missed the point and deflected to what Nixon did after he ran a good political race. How he handled things politically to win was my point - he was a party statesman not a party divider, and he knew how to lose and come back and win, which he did not by looking back but by looking ahead. He did not run on animosity about what might have been a stolen election in 1960. He ran on the then (1968, and 1972) issues and what he proposed about them. He looked ahead not behind him.
If you think for one second that we live in the same world as Nixon, you have no concept of the current situation.
Did the US fund the creation of a lethally enhanced virus bioweapon in a Chinese lab, then cover up their malfeasance and suspend the Constitution for a year?
Did the CIA ever spy on Nixon or did the FBI ever raid his house?
Did the FBI ever interfere in his election and threaten news agencies that reported truthful information on his opponents?
Did the intelligence agencies interfere in Nixon’s election?
Did (the equivalent of) the Department of Homeland Security ever collude with the largest media entities to censor his supporters (or any news the showed him in a good light)?
Did the DOJ arrest and imprison hundreds of his supporters?
You are delusional if you think “better politics” is the way out of this.
He should have. Had they not gotten away with stealing the '60 election, they might have thought twice about stealing another.
