Nixon resigned from office before the full House could vote on the articles of impeachment.

Ok. Fine. Nixon resigned bc he would have been impeached for spying on the Democrats and then lying about it. Regardless- I think we can all agree that the episode was really embarrassing and took quite a toll on the public trust in the ofc of the president that had some fairly significant cultural repercussions.

Im just wondering how we lived thru the 70s and all the turmoil, and if things now are worse despite similar societal conditions. Bc they Feel worse. And ostensibly we have ppl setting shite on fire and shooting 8 yr olds bc of shite we’ve been aware of since the country started.
