Arkansas Progressive Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 AROOOOO Richard Nixon, President of the United States has soundly defeated Democratic nominee George McGovern in 1972. The Republicans during the campaign turned McGovern's policies of immediately ending Vietnam and establishing a guaranteed minimum income as "radical". However, Nixon faces a tough time as protests against the Vietnam War have resulted in a domestic stability crisis. Only time will tell if the re-elected President can pull the United States out of it. @0ccultist @ShortKing @LainKino @Bushwa777 @Largo833 @Pringles @Pringles @EYates @10centjimmy @Rezi @Joe303300 Currently working on setting up incumbent positions, adding missing people (missing retirement dates grr). Off to bed now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EYates Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Is it guaranteed that Watergate happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember seeing in the other 1972 thread, that there is a set percentage chance of Watergate firing once every two years or something like that. So, it's definitely not guaranteed, but just very likely, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
