Strange Equation: Teabaggers and the SDS 0
Shaun Mullen explains:
I remember the 1972 campaign well and Election Night in particular. It was obvious early on that despite Nixon’s unpopularity — he had reneged on his promise to end the war and there were the first stirrings of the Watergate scandal that would abort his second term — that he would win in a landslide. I woke up the next morning and despite having a world-class hangover immediately understood why McGovern had been thrashed. Like the Tea Party, his supporters refused to dial back on their stridency and cool their rhetoric even if the face of probable defeat.
