    I would agree we’re pretty far off the track. Remember when the biggest scandals were presidential blowies and tan suits?

      How about Watergate? There have always been scandals.

      Or on another note, how about when presidential blowies were a scandal, gay people couldn’t even get married? The appeal to an idealized past is a conservative thing.

        I’m not saying turn back the clock, I just want politics to stop being so… I mean marjorie taylor greene exists, for fucks sake.

        Also let’s be real, Watergate is tame in 2024. Hell, PRISM wasn’t even as big as Watergate and it was 100x worse.
