I was eleven years old in November 1960 when my father and I watched Richard Nixon concede the presidential election to John F. Kennedy. My father, a former FBI agent, shook his head. “Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered.
“Then why doesn’t Nixon do something about it?” I asked indignantly.
“Because it would tear the country apart, and no one wants that.”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t work that way,” he replied. “Nixon is being a gentleman.”
Of course, it wasn’t just my dad who felt that way. I heard his sentiment echoed many times after that election by teachers, news commentators, and my friends’ parents. The election might have been stolen, sure, but these things happen. Move on.
I didn’t agree with that thinking then, and I don’t agree with it now. Is it gentlemanly to allow an election to be hijacked right before your eyes? And what does “tearing the country apart” mean? A civil war? Why? Because someone finally pulls back the curtain on corruption that we’ve lived with for decades?

The difference is Nixon who was full of himself, really did a lot of stupid things in his lust for power and glory.
Trump hasn’t done squat except to lift our country.
The Left has so much corruption one wouldn’t know where to start. But hey, it’s the Delusional Lying Left. We shouldn’t expect anything less than rampant corruption from them.
The Delusional Lying Left will NEVER tell the truth so let’s quit expecting them to or complaining about it.
Let’s go after them with everything we have and utterly defeat them. That’s the only answer for the Delusional Lying Left.
No, Kennedy was the Left’s Golden Boy. LBJ hated him because LBJ was a meglomaniac and JFK stood in his way. But JFK was just the kind of equivocal, amoral, Left-leaning, rich and powerful politician the DNC craved.
Kennedy was a pretty boy and young. Gift of the gab. Clinton? Think Meatloaf-2 outta 3 ain’t bad. Obama had all 3. That’s their secret. Anyone else on the horizon? Beto and john Edwards couldn’t cut it but they tried. BTW what’s the topic?
Carter was a failure-fooled around only in his dreams. Dukakis/Gore/Kerrry were just plain unlikable. Women would keep their pants on around them. I don’t see another Bad(pretty) boy on the horizon so Biden’s just a stop gap.
Few have thought deeply on the consequences that must be fashioned after a coup such as this. Those caught doing criminal acts are easy.
But what to do about the enablers (MSM and universities). Big Tech? Hollywood. There were all part of the Infowar jammed down everyone’s throats.
Dunno, really. Fair amount of confusion beginning with the title of this thread..
Trump wins. We win. They lose. Guess that’s my topic on this thread.
The Left has a million of 'em regardless of us seeing them now or not.
The really hard thing is the Patriotic Right finding a Patriot and fighter for America like Trump. Very hard to find.
That's why I favor Trump to win again in 2024. Better to violate one provision of the Constitution to save the whole of the Constitution and our Free Constitutional Republic.
As a rule when I hear the spooge that JFK was a leftist it’s coming from some wasted creep leftist.
Bastista was FDR’s picked puppet and he was overthrown during Ike’s time in office - the GOP had no love for him.
JFK went after Castro and Kruschev hammer and tongs.
What stunk of JFK was that he was the darling of Hollywood pigs.
LBJ was a slob but had guts when it mattered unlike the CS republicans.
