Biaggi’s Second Opium Den

The longer I look at the list the funnier it gets. Love the idea that the only legitimately elected presidents were Grant, Carter, and Obama. You can’t even count Reagan or Clinton since ‘80 and ‘92 were stolen.

I always wonder where we’d be now if Perot won. There’s so many Perot timelines but I’m not sure which is the best. A Flock of Eagles is probably the closest to what would’ve happened but that list Oppo made like a year ago is what I choose to imagine what would’ve happened.

In their place is a lean, hard core of physicians, chiropractors, orthodontists, lawyers, real ‐estate developers, display‐advertising executives, electronics engineers, insurance salesmen—richer, more sedate, more sophisticated and somehow more menacing than the earthy, knee‐slapping throngs that came to adore Wallace. “This party,” says Tucson, Ariz., American party oficial Del Myers, a 50‐year‐old insurance salesman, “is a distillation of the John Birch Society, the Christian Crusade and the Minutemen. We're revolutionaries. We're getting together to try to work through the system. But I'll say this. We'll have constitutional government in this country and if we don't get it through the ballot box, we'll get it in the streets.”

[1] Olson would be shot and killed by Puerto Rican Nationalist Bruno Robley in 1954. The resulting grief would lead to the resignation of his former boss, J. Edgar Hoover, from the Supreme Court.
[2] Appointed to prevent a campaign from the right that would challenge his third term; Hickenlooper’s appointment was positioned as a win for “civilian control” of the intelligence state, but in many ways Hickenlooper would be significantly more “ruthless” than either of his predecessors.
[3] When petit-bourgeoise anger at the Dewey administration’s handling of the war and the south’s anger at growing civil rights initiatives boiled over into the election of the Constitution party’s J. Bracken Lee/J. Edgar Hoover ticket, many expected the vice president’s influence to return the intelligence state’s control back over to insiders. Instead Lee would appoint McCarthy lawyer and Kennedy family friend Roy Cohn to the position; one that would cause quite some controversy, particularly over Cohn’s usage of “COINTELPRO” tactics to control opposition, the “rigged” 1968 DNC for friend Robert Kennedy, the killing of Julian Bond, and funding of the paramilitary Minutemen.
[4] The wave would finally break in 1972, when anger at the two-decade long Black Ditch war in China would lead to the election of Democrat Robert McNamara. McNamara’s election as a “unifier” backed by both several large companies and unions would be seen as a rejection of the Constitution-Republican alliance’s coalition, and a victory for the anti-war movement (by this point comprising a vast majority of the population). His choice for FBI director was Ted Sorenson, who almost immediately utilized the position to go after the far right in the United States.
