It's like the power level creep in Dragon Ball Z with corruption instead of fighting strength. Watergate is some Raditz shit but we're dealing with Cell and have Majin Buu on the horizon.

He's right. And that statement is a huge indictment of both his party and the propaganda it spreads. He's just too stupid to realize it.

LOL, he's telling on himself and the cons.
The Faux News scheme and unleashing hate radio were both done to try to prevent any future consequences for Republican crimes like Watergate. Of course, the Internet further fragmented things.
Of course, the "legacy media" corporate media was already far too right wing anyway, but the zone got flooded with radically far right wing propaganda masquerading as news.
Surely "JD" "Vance" knows this.

He's right but not for any of the right reasons.
Yes and that's catastrophic to America
To promote his new book Communion. From atheist to Catholic...
Didn't he tell the pope to shut up

You can just look at what happened after the Epstein files were released. If it had happened in the 70s, there would have been mass upleavals. Today? Disgruntled people moaning on the internet. Nothing much.

You lost me at JD Vance says.

Okay, for how many weeks has Epstein been a story? Just to estimate how much worse it is compared to Watergate.
How long would the story of him fucking a couch last?
Maybe on Fox "News". Which says more about Fox "News" than about today.
