I’ve seen Nixon’s name come up several times recently. Exactly who started this. I know about, hmm let me see, ZERO MAGA people that would ever compare Trump to Nixon.

To the media that remember, Nixon was literally evil incarnate. Mainly because, he too, beat the pants off the Democrats several times, beginning with outing Alger Hiss as a communist. Then defeating Helen Gahagan Douglas in 1950. They thought they had him vanquished in after ‘60 and ‘62 but he came back to defeat them again, and then to top it off, he won 49 states and 60% of the vote in 1972.
Unfortunately, he also gave us a lot of liberalism, but he also had large Democrat majorities in Congress.
They want to tie the negative image of Nixon to Trump and say Trump is far worse. So, let’s convict him already and send him to prison for the rest of his life. That’s what they want.
Nixon was a liberal.
He’s right, but not in the way he thinks. Nixon was a rhino gloablist Wilsonian, Trump is a Jacksonian America First Conservative.
Nixon came up because of his legal strategy in challenging the Hawaii election result in 1960 that went to Kennedy. Nixon's lawyers told the Republican slate of electors to the Electoral College to meet and vote on the designated date (Dec 6?) so that they can have an Electoral College slate ready to go in the case that Nixon's challenge was successful.
Trump's lawyers were advising Republican electors in the contested states to do the same in order to maintain their viability as Electors in the event that a court heard their challenge. The liberal extremist DAs are trying to negate this strategy and deem these electors as fraudulent imposters posing as official electors.
