minus-squareDecoy321@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up30arrow-down1·10 months agoIn fairness, this is a pretty unique situation. How many other times have you seen ex-president mugshots? That’s actually what annoys me the most. That stupid fucking face is going to be a famous image. It’ll be in text books for decades.

minus-squareHonytawklinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·10 months agoI doubt a president getting arrested is that big of a history compared to abolishing slavery or a war. It will be a footnote, or a quiz question for sure. But nothing more.
minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoUh huh, just like how people forgot Nixon and his peace signs.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·10 months agoNo pictures of that were in any textbooks I had. Things that paint the US in a negative light tend to be glossed over in US schools - at least, they were when I was in it ages ago. Can’t imagine that’s changed much.
minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·10 months agoBruh, I’m pretty sure your textbooks covered Watergate, assuming you went to school after it. Now, maybe your school and/or teacher sucked and tried to cram it into their one hour coverage of Vietnam, but it was in there, I promise. (Unless you went to a religious school, then I’ll believe any claim you make but note that it isn’t typical)
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months agoI said that picture wasn’t in there, and “glossed over” doesn’t mean there was no negativity at all. Yes, Watergate was mentioned.

It will be. But framed as heroic.
