What JD Vance Accidentally Got Right About Watergate

The Atlantic: “Vance is correct about how Watergate would’ve landed today, but the lesson is not what he claims. Since 1974, Americans have become pessimistic about their leaders, deeply polarized in their partisanship, and distrustful of the media—all of which means that Watergate very well might pass quickly in today’s environment.”

“The best evidence is that the Trump administration weathers scandals on the Watergate level routinely.”

As Rep: Jim McGovern (D-MA) said: “We do a Watergate twice a day’ is a crazy way to confess your own corruption.”
