Bill Clinton won reelection. Now, granted, he was not Trump levels, he was a piece of shit who at the very least abused his role and power over women. Now, even after me too, he's a beloved elder statesman. Just saying, the nation has sunk lower, but I don't know that's a lot lower than where we were when we were kids.
In a pre-me too world, I think Clinton's sexual abuse scandal was far too abstract for people to really grasp. I'm not saying it was okay, I'm just saying I understand it not affecting things. But I would've hoped we'd be correcting ourselves over time, not getting worse.
And bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Libya to distract people from the fact he couldnt keep it in his pants
