Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.

The lesson the Republicans learned from Watergate: Consistently lying, attacking the opposition, and supporting the President of your party no matter what their crimes is the surest route to preserve power.

As Hegel said: “We learn from history that we do not learn from history.”
