tjis was crazy to me
OH MY GOD...
#txt#haha ohhhhh#i like six crises a lot#bc you can see the only one he really 'lost' was the 1960 election...#and im excited to see what he has to say abt it#i saw a review of this book saying it was his loss in that election & his attempt at getting california governor in 62 that 'Changed' him#and made him as ruthless unethical and well.......... crooked#which is especially interesting bc the checkers speech highlighted his honesty... especially towards financial stuff#but he resigned over getting caught paying hush money to the watergate burglars... instead of jusy coming clean#the nixon giving the checkers speech in 1952... if he watergate happened to him he would have come clean... he wouldnt have paid anyone#anything... and he would have laid off everyone involved#idk if he wouldnt have still had the taping system etc... or if hed always been that insanely paranoid#but hmmm#idk. maybe those 2 losses really did change him in such a way... idk... idk#and maybe my faith in#how he was in 1952 is maybe a bit too good to him#but i think he was an honest guy then... when you dont look at how ruthlessly he fought for like. his seat in fhe senate or whatevee#he didnt even imagine hed be nominated as vice president😭#<- maybe he was lying in six crises fhough#i believe him#can you tell i have no idea what im talking about... sigh#he interests me though#us presidents#six crises#richard nixon
