What the hell happened?

murder it as soon as possible i have no other considerations

There's ok racism and then there's not ok racism

Goldwater was an idealist with a dream. It was never going to work. He got the last laugh in 1980 desu.

Are you high or really stupid

>>2576979
Goldwater promised to nuke russia

The last Democrat had his head blown off

>>2577027
>muh religious right

was not enough to stop goldwater from claiming 1980 as a victory and he ranked Reagan as the best president he had worked with up to this point in his career

you know, people can agree and disagree on certain points? It's called politics, child.

>>2577023
It kind of wasn't. There's a reason it only aired once.

>>2576979
Big dick beats little chode.

>>2577050
He ranked Eisenhower as the best president he ever worked with

>>2576988
Last laugh? Considering how the religious right has overrun the GOP and identity politics he is spinning in his grave

Supports gays in the military, pro-choice, believes in holding industries liable for the damage they do to the environment, by today's metric he'd be a bleeding heart liberal!

>>2577191
Tbh all that shit seems like basic common sense shit to push for. Not in a moral sense, but in a political sense in that what the State should or should not be doing

>>2576979
A backward 18th century voting system happened.

Ah fuck, there's a song that uses that "we must love each other or we must die" sample.

Anyone know what it is?

Johnson claimed two insane things.

1) Goldwater wanted a nuclear war with the Soviet Union
2) Goldwater was a literal Nazi (despite being ethnically Jewish)

Boomers, being functionally retarded, believed those two things and didn't vote for Goldwater.

America could not accept having three presidents in two years; the electorate desperately desired a sense of continuity from the Kennedy years. It didn't help that Goldwater was a poor campaigner who, with his inflammatory statements, fed the Democrat narrative that he was a madman.

Harakiri by Serj Tankian?

>>2577989
Boomers couldn't vote in 1964 you moron.

Whatever the "Silent Generation" then.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks anon.

He won the Deep South and Arizona.

>should or should not
>not a moral sense

Pick one (1)

>>2576979
When Goldwater's campaign picked the slogan, "In your heart, you know he's right," they were fucked. It sounds like a veiled admission that maybe he's not actually all that right, and then the Johnson team spun it into "In your guts you know he's nuts," and that was that.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty ins no vice" was the icing on the cake.

>>2577069
And should be noted that it was not produced by the campaign -- an "independent expenditure" group made it.

But airing it once got it on the news, and that was all they really needed. It was out there.

>>2576987
this

>>2577989

It was a fact that Goldwater wanted to start dropping nuclear bombs on Vietnam like candy, which everyone knew was batshit crazy.

Silly OP, Johnson was clearly the morally superior candidate compared to those nasty, racist little Republicans

>when Johnson got out of office he let his hair grow out like a doob smoking hippy
Top laugh

>Kennedy sympathy vote
>Johnson popular for signing the Civil Rights Act and promising a Great Society
>Goldwater considered too extreme for northern WASP Republicans, also loses conservative areas reliant on government spending like the farm belt and Alaska
>wins the Deep South because he opposed the CRA

Nothing.

You can't legislate morality senpai, but the state is supposed to protect the well being of its citizens, not their feelings

Polite sage

>>2576989
does this bitch not know how to count

>>2580968

Quite possibly, although I wouldn't rule out the chance that they had her fuck up the numbers on purpose so she would appear cuter.
