Because neither group has all the power
About 45 years ago there was a chance that they might, but Nixon saw to that by inventing the War on Drugs.
- forapurpose 9y ago> Because neither group has all the power > About 45 years ago there was a chance that they might There was no chance. In the 1972 election, Nixon was re-elected winning 49 states (not a typo - he won 49 of 50 states) and won the popular vote by 23%. And that was while the Watergate scandal was exploding. Per Wikipedia, not long before the November election, "On October 10, the FBI reported the Watergate break-in was part of a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage on behalf of the Nixon re-election committee."[0] There was no chance that the Democrats or anyone on the left was going to take "all the power".
