minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoHere’s a quick taste of Lee Atwater. He was Nixon’s creature, and hung around for a long time. Helped create the dog whistles Nixon used and Trump surpassed https://youtu.be/X_8E3ENrKrQ?t=2
minus-squaredisguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoThanks. I’ve read about Atwater, but I’ve never heard that interview. Yeah, he was despicable alright.
minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoFor fun, look up Nixon era mystery writer Ross Thomas. He started out as a Washington reporter, then became a novelist. “The Fools In Town are On Our Side” may be the dirtiest politics book ever written. “The Porkchoppers” is a close second.
