Thr only unusual thing about Watergate was that they got caught.

This is a sentiment that we have to be careful with. That’s exactly the defence currently being painted - that all of Trumpism is just how things are, with corruption, criminality, and treason, but it’s ‘just politics’ that Democrats are making a big deal of it.

None of it is normal. Watergate wasn’t normal either - most people, including politicians, aren’t criminals. Trumpers will seize upon any excuse to absolve their tribe, especially ‘everyone does it’.
