“1960? Nixon was to the left of Kennedy.”
What are you drinking?
Sorry, even Noam Chomsky calls Nixon one of the great liberal presidents.
-Nixon founded the Environmental Protection Agency (and by extension, the Global Warming movement)
-Nixon passed Title IX/the education amendment
Nixon raised the minimum wage more than any other president.
And there are many other examples. Sorry.
Instituted the first federal Affirmative Action program.
Imposed wage and price controls.
Appointed three justices that gave us Roe vs. Wade (The only Kennedy justice on the Supreme Court at the time dissented from Roe v. Wade)
Dramatically increased spending on federal employees.
