braindeads when a political figure doesn’t fill every box of their rainbow bingo card

Nixon:

Tried to implement UBI in 1968 (later evolved into the Family Assistance Plan, one of the most robust welfare programs in American history)

Prevented a second Cold War front with China

Signed one of the first major federal environmental protection policies (NEPA)

Also established the EPA

Established OSHA in 1970, the first federally enforced set of safety regulations to protect workers against exploitative employers.

As for your quote, here’s another:

No man can be fully free while his neighbor is not. To go forward at all is to go forward together.

This means black and white together, as one nation, not two. The laws have caught up with our conscience. What remains is to give life to what is in the law: to ensure at last that as all are born equal in dignity before God, all are born equal in dignity before man.

As we learn to go forward together at home, let us also seek to go forward together with all mankind.

Nixon’s administration saw the largest percentage of black children enrolled in segregated schools in American history. In 1968, 68% of black children in the South were attending all-black schools. By 1974, that number had fallen to 8%.
