The lefties went full jihad on Nixon about this,

I'd say Nixon went full jihad on them too. The commies were fighting a defensive battle. Unfortunately, they won. We are still fighting that war. Nixon being our first major loss.

(or maybe not our first? sometimes I forget things happened before I was born.)

Joe McCarthy before that, and FDR I think in 1933 was probably the biggest loss - he made changes more drastic than Obama in comparison.
