Same here. I'm 72 but I vividly remember Nixon and Watergate. Just like you say, Paige, that was NOTHING (swords to that effect) compared to this. That wasn't horrifying, this definitely is.

But Nixon and Watergate were one event along the path that brought us to the current day. American First in the 40s, Dixiecrats in the 50s and 60s, Nixon in the 70s, Reagan in the 80s, the Bush in 90s, Tea Party and Gingrich in 00s,Trump 1.0 in 10s, Project 2025 and Trump 2.0 in 20s. In words and actions the Republicans' fiscally conservative movement political message was don't trust the government and society. With the propaganda spewn by Fox News has given us the MAGA cult and a wanta be dictator.
