I was 15 when Nixon resigned. To be brutally honest, I believe the impeachment of Bill Clinton over what the meaning of 'is' is was in delayed retaliation of the Nixon impeachment inquiry.

And I think that part of the motivation of impeaching Trump was delayed revenge over impeaching Clinton.

Long gone are the days of Woodward & Bernstein, and MacNeil & Lehrer whose dogged Watergate reporting helped expose President Richard Nixon. Today, everyday citizens do their own, algorithm-curated searches for information that tell them exactly what they want to hear, which ultimately enables politicians like Donald Trump to avoid the same public accountability Nixon faced. Sadly, while a 12-year-old in 1974 could know intuitively when a president had done something wrong, a 12-year-old today lacks that same intuition regarding any disingenuous politician. Such is the current world shaped by the internet, social media, and a dying concept known as “truth.” …
Last paragraph of the screed. This Keck deserves no praise, to put it mildly. Goes after critics for calling him a “hypocrite” (which he is) by claiming they are hitting him with argumentum ad hominem and 95 percent of his screed is ad hominem by itself.

Watergate was a media coup against a sitting president they hated.

The people went along because the people were still under the impression the media would not lie to them.

My memory of President Nixon resigning is quiet a bid different than the writer’s.
Nixon like President Trump was the victim of a coup. A coup by the same cast of characters as we have been seeing for 2016 until today. From mad dog partisan Democrats to sanctimonious Republicans to a partisan press to the same initialed investigation agencies. From trumped up charges to congress critters lying like rugs to the daily drip drip drip of charges and innuendo in the media.
The only difference was Nixon did not have the stomach for the fight as does President Trump.

nixon used 2 guys to bug 1 office.

Trump’s offices were bugged by the entire intel community to track everyone (N+2) that went in and out of Trump tower.

22,500+ people work in Trump tower resulting in 67,500 people the intel community tracked / spied on.

a bit of a difference

Deep State infected with commies staged a coup against Nixon and Trump. Nixon was a lot more popular than Trump but considering the time period he didn’t really have a lot of ways to get his message across despite being president.
