I’m not a historian, but my guess is that we have lived too many generations without major political incident; the kind you’re supposed to make heads roll over.
Really though? Just off the top of my head:
Eisenhower to Nixon
Vietnam
JFK
Rigged elections in Illinois with aid of the mafia.
Bay of Pigs
Nixon
Watergate
Being Richard Nixon
Reagan
Illegal invasion of Grenada
Iran-Contra
Clinton
Executing a developmentally-challenged man as a campaign stunt.
I’m surprised Nixon gets:
“being Richard Nixon”
but Reagan doesn’t get:
“being the sack of shit that took the massive clear steps to destroy your country through corruption”
There’s that old thought experiment on who someone would take out of time travel existed. I used to think that Hitler would be a good target. However, seeing how many of the current issues started because of something Reagan gutted, reduced, or schemed to disrupt or remove makes him my new target. So much of our current shituation can be directly tied back to Reagan.

How the fuck did they let Reaganomics slide?
