I look back on the Sixties and early Seventies, when there were protests everywhere about everything, and yet nothing changed. The War In Vietnam? That ended in 1975 after years and years, the protests didn't stop the war (tho the Baby Boomers thought they actually accomplished something there LOL).
I think of Richard Nixon, how HATED he was back then. A dark, sweaty, twitchy, paranoid figure, the very essence of an evil looking dude. What happened in 1972, after scandals and years of protest? He won in a LANDSLIDE.
Years of Republican dirty tricks, wars, monetary manipulation, societal manipulation, etc etc....and what happened? Ronald Reagan comes swooping in FOUR YEARS after all those nasty Republicans everyone was protesting over.
Money wins, everything else loses. Move along.
