このコンテンツについて
In today's episode of Lest We Forget Historical with Lillian C., we revisit the tumultuous era of Richard M. Nixon, a presidency defined by scandal, secrecy, and the abuse of power. At the center of the Nixon IRS scandal, the former president wielded the tax agency as a weapon, targeting his enemies by manipulating their records in a personal campaign of retribution.
Nixon’s downfall came with Watergate, but this abuse of federal power was a chilling precursor. His plan ultimately unraveled, and Congress took a decisive stand against using institutions for personal vengeance, sealing his disgraced exit from office.Does this tactic feel eerily familiar? It should. In today’s political landscape, similar retribution plays out, as the current administration allegedly weaponizes government power against its adversaries.
From humiliation to exile, imprisonment, and accusations of treason, the blueprint for political retaliation is unfolding once again.Citizens take note: If history teaches us anything, it’s that unchecked power never stops at one enemy—it expands until resistance is crushed entirely. Will Congress act, or will the tide rise unchecked?
