When Vietnam fell in 1974, nobody tried to blame it on Johnson ramping up troop levels

[brooklynite]

The person in charge at the time of the fall always takes the hit. Doesn’t matter that Bush started the war in Afghanistan; doesn’t matter that Trump cut a deal that led to the end of it. Voters either won’t care (since US troops will be out) or will attribute the failing to the Biden Administration. That’s political reality.

1. I wonder how many Republicans care what happens in Afghanistan.

If they attack Biden, the Democrats have got to attack Trump for his deal with the Taliban.

2. You've changed.

9. Reality sucks.

11. No it doesn't. What we can build when we are all in this together is beautiful.

Humanity is incredible. That's the plain truth.

3. Democrats have been blamed for Vietnam loss for decades

4. News to me.

Ford was President when it fell apart.

5. So what ? REpublicans still blamed democrats

12. My dad blamed it on hippies and Democrats (pulling out of Vietnam)

6. Feel free to elaborate...

I’m not saying Biden deserves to be blamed. I saying he will to the extent that anyone is.

FWIW, very few people voted in 1976 based on the fall of Vietnam.

8. I'm not talking about Biden. He said he will take responsibility for whatever happens

i'm talking about REpublicans and what they do and did when it came to Vietnam. They did it more before the failures of IRaq and Afghanistan. But they blame democrats for losing Vietnam .

7. No, voters will love him more for pulling out

Even many Republicans are praising him.

[applegrove]

10. That was 6 years before.

13. The fall occurred April 1975. n/t

14. BS

Americans are glad that we are out. This isn't 1974. The people that caused the problem are still around and running their mouths.
