  Nixon was one of the most progressive presidents of his time

    He was a paranoiac authoritarian who had no qualms about doing all kinds of illegal shit to stay in power and he got away with it without facing any legal repercussions for those crimes.

    This is rightfully his legacy, especially for the GOP who learned a lot from him and he plays a huge part in why the GOP is the way they are today.

      In this regard, I agree, he was very progressive for GOP strategy. One Gerald Ford and one Jimmy Carter later and people were ready for 3 more terms of it. The stain of Nixon’s administration washed out rather quickly. His tactics and students live on.

    If he gets shot, it's too damn bad.

    The press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.

      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%.
