"Who Can Beat Nixon?" January 10th, 1972 cover of Newsweek.
wanted to post this here for my fellow old man freaks…
i picked up some stuff in antique stores while i was in the states over summer. i have some other u.s. political pins at home displayed in boxes and whatnot, but i wanted to have a place for these guys specifically… so, i bought one of those little decorative flags to put them on.
most of them are authentic (the ones that aren’t are pretty obvious, like the wilsons and the fdr for example are repros!) and idk. i think it looks cool!

It's really funny just how much all the democrats in the 60s hated eachother
RFK thought that LBJ was an arrogant loud-mouthed hick.
LBJ thought that RFK was a pretentious upper-class asshole.
Hubert Humphrey was disliked because he was seen as being a stooge for LBJ, despite the fact they didn't get along super well.
McCarthy was seen as a defeatist and a radical for his opposition to the Vietnam War.
McGovern was also seen as too radical for his opposition to the war and his support for UBI, despite his support from young people.
Wallace hated, and was hated by, the rest of the national Democratic party because he was, you know, a dixiecrat.
The Dixiecrats hated the northern Democrats, and vice versa.
JFK didn't like LBJ, but he recognized that he was an important running mate.
It's a wonder any of them actually managed to work together when most of them loathed each other.

The Maple Tree - Eugene McCarthy
The maple tree that night Without a wind or rain Let go its leaves Because its time had come. Brown veined, spotted, Like old hands, fluttering in blessing, They fell upon my head And shoulders, and then Down to the quiet at my feet. I stood, and stood Until the tree was bare And have told no one But you that I was there.
