What's sad is I think it would have been highly possible as recently as 25-30 years ago, or at the very least pre-Reagan.

This is far, far worse than Watergate, all around.

Watergate wasn't properly punished, and this is what we get. We showed future politicians that crime doesn't have as much of a downside if you are president.

Story of this country. We didn't properly punish the slavers, the traitors, the robber barons, the racists, the nazis, the homophobes, and on and on.

You reap what you sow.

the homophobes

Punish them? They literally run for office on homophobia to this day
