Maybe not the best example as Nixon prolonged the war by subverting the peace talks in order to help his campaign and then escalated the fighting when he got into office before finally ending it.
Thanks. I'd be curious to hear if you have a better example, then.
I'm french. From my side of the ocean, America seems so polarized and divided, it's spectacular.
The real division is not between republicans and democrats, but between defenders of democracy and autocrats.
It is a division between the two parties on many topics and not just about democracy. The Republican Party seems to have gone off the deep end and I don’t understand it either.
GWB's people, Rice et al, were warned by the outgoing staffers that chasing terrorist plots had become a focus and was going to take a lot of time and attention, which they ignored. So maybe count 9/11 as GOP "successes" as well
Or the millions 45 killed during the pandemic with his inept, callous response.... Maybe he'll take his own advice & inject bleach, take ivermectin & shove a UV light up his ass

Republicans put an end to Vietnam war the democrats started.
