- thephyber 6y agoA pretty interesting observation: > Brinkley, the Rice University historian, said the moment seemed akin to Richard Nixon’s presidency, when the country was divided politically over the Vietnam War and the president was attacking the press over the Pentagon Papers. I see a lot of the fundamental social problems in America and I see elected officials at the federal level largely incapable of / uninterested in trying to tackle them. They all seem to waste a lot of time on smearing their political opponents or in focusing on small, trivial issues rather than the cracks in the foundation of American society (perhaps that is all we as voters incentivize them to do).
