    What about when Reagan (allegedly) conspired with the Iranians to sabotage Carter’s chances of winning the election?

      Or Nixon conspiring with the VC to delay peace in Vietnam until after the election. Honestly the fuckery really started back in the late 50s and early 60s if we’re looking for the roots of our current fascist problem.

      Spend a bit of time watching Ken Burns Vietnam documentary at some point, it’s an eye opener w.r.t. the current Republican strategy.

      Heh and to think Carter was putting solar panels on top the White House, but America has always had a hard on for the corrupt snake oil salesman.
