What was worse about Watergate, for me learning about it long after it happened was the idea that one of the political parties I'd been taught was an allies who disagreed on "issues" but not on core values, had treated the other like a hostile foreign power, a subject for morales spy craft. An Enemy.

I could not understand how any "bipartisanship" could follow after that. But perhaps a person who remembered the civil war might explain it.
