Why do dems hate nixon? like futurama used to seethe about him all the time. look at his "accomplishments">took us off the gold standard, thereby causing productivity to decouple from wages and ensure bankers become super rich>normalized relations with china>cut NASA's budget by 70%>Created the EPA>created OSHA>signed the endangered species, clean air and clean water acts>lowered the voting age from 21 to 18>provided military aid to the jews>signed a missile treaty with the russians>left taxes sky high>ended the vietnam war>signed title IX>expanded welfare benefits>enforced brown v board of ed and the civil rights acthe seems left wing as fuck. what are they mad at, that he didn't ban guns and actively genocide and enslave white people?
>>18003855He was a square, thats all. If Democrats ever act like they care about gold reserves and sound money laugh at them until they're too far away to hear you anymore.There's a deeper issue about this being the beginning of mass MK Ultra opinion manipulation or at least the first time it was so noticable.
>>18003855>he seems left wing as fuckdude..Democrats controlled Congress his administration
>>18003855He formed alliances with right wing dictatorships around the world and exploited the Sino-Soviet split. America would have lost the Cold War if not for him
>>18003899he still normalized relations with china, enforced brown and the civil rights act and took us off the gold standard without congress
>>18003921So you're saying going off the gold standard was good?
>>18003921>>18003932I have to add.Nixon didnt take us off the gold standard. Wilson and FDR did. Nixon just did what he did as a reaction to thier previous policys.
>>18003932>>18003940no, taking us off the gold standard, which nixon did, was fucking terrible and it's the direct cause of the banker bullshit fake money slave economy we have now, but dems like that shit because they hate the gold standard and they like anything that makes line go up and only benefits bankers while fucking over normal people. See dems being in favor of open borders, having illegals work for less than minimum wage, outsourcing jobs, nafta, free trade, zero tariffs and h1b visas
>>18003921>enforced brown and the civil rights act andactually he just threw a bunch of money at the Southern states to desegregate
>>18003965they had forced busing court cases when he was president>>18003980GMS! and shalom. fucking scab
>>18003855>he seems left wing as fuck0/10 retarded bait thread is retarded
>>18004073all of those things are left wing, troon
>>18003855>like futurama used to seethe about him all the time.The writers loved in dumbass. One of the best characters in the series.
>>18004119>took us off the gold standard, thereby causing productivity to decouple from wages and ensure bankers become super rich>left wingyou fucking retard
>>18004164ESL, retard
>>18004167lefties love that we have fiat fake money currency that only benefits the super wealthy. all lefties are against tariffs, against the gold standard and are against limiting immigration, retard
>>18004168Doesn't matter. If they actually did hate him they'd clearly show it. Yet he's been a series staple at this point and won two elections in-iniverse.
>>18004186>all lefties are against tariffs, against the gold standardare you saying the pre-FDR Democrat Party was left wing?
>>18004186Your describing bill clinton not leftists, very large difference
>>18004200they are they same thing>>18004191yeah, the dems tried to ban guns in like 1910 and wilson was a commie
>>18003855most people, even most people who are dumb enough to identify themselves with a political party, aren't actually that well informed on the policies associated with those parties or their elected representatives. it doesn't even have to be that far back, retards on the street dont even remember that Obama was originally against gay marriage as a policy (though his personal opinion likely differed) or it was the Trump administration that was the massive push behind the development and adoption and aggressive implementation of the COVID vaccine.they just operate off of vibes and pop culture, and Nixon is mostly remembered as a sleazy guy because of Watergate - it largely eclipses the rest of his career in pop culture memory. it also helps to understand that the modern democratic party is partially made up of a lot of the upper middle class decorum-obsessed milquetoast suburbanites that find overtly ideological politics distasteful and just want everybody to get along, whatever the fuck that means - people who benefit from the social status quo and so think its a good thing. of course they would find Nixon's associations with sneaky fuckery very distasteful, and again they are just operating off of pop culture for the most part. the more leftist progressive wing of the party has a really intense puritanical bent that is deeply hostile to any deviations from their groupthink and is reflexively incapable of trying to understand different ideological frameworks, especially ones from different historical contexts. its like their minds start involuntarily henpecking themselves back in line the moment they try to empathize or imagine what it is like for someone to not think like they do.
>>18004212Nixon was being ripped apart by liberals since the 50s it didn't begin with Watergate.
>>18004212they could have for example remembered that Biden stood on the Senate floor and said the '94 Violent Crime Control and Enforcement Act would get you 15 for jaywalking
>>18004323for some reason dems pretend that shit was the republicans or bipartisan when it was passed basically on party lines due to the inclusion of the AWB
>>18004332>for some reason dems pretend that shit was the republicans or bipartisan when it was passed basically on party lines due to the inclusion of the AWB1994, Democrat Senate+Democrat House+Democrat president. They can't possibly make excuses for that one.
They could have also said that a Democrat Congress agreed to Reagan's tax cuts which leftists have whined about for 40 years or that that noted Republican LBJ had cut taxes 20 years before that.
>>18004337whenever it comes up dems either try to say the GOP did it and blame reagan and bush even though clinton was president or they cite the 2 votes before the awb was added that were basically unanimous and say the awb was bipartisan. it's like how they always bring up the mulford act even though most of the state legislators who passed it were dems or how they claim the 1986 FOPA was the worst anti gun bill when the only real anti gun thing it has in it is the hughes amendment which didn't really affect anyone in 1986 and doesn't really affect anyone now
>>18004317All the way since back then trust fund liberals never liked the guy's humble lower middle class background, they just couldn't identify with him.
>>18003961Nixon ended the international trading gold standard.In 1933 FDR ended the domestic gold standard and the Federal Reserve was free to print funny money, he seized American citizens gold as well, by force if necessary. All that chain of events started in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created under Wilson's administration.The Federal Reserve ended the true purpose of the gold standard for America.Because WW1 countries suspended the gold standard to print a bunch of debt money. This caused so much inflation they didnt return the the international gold standard as they were supposed too. Nixon ended it internationally officially as a result of all this. Printing money not tied directly to a gold reserve led to a debt based system. The result is it trickled down to the average man so they couldnt let him trade gold for money that represented a mostly static amount of gold. Americans got cucked.
>>18003888>He was a square, thats all. This LMAOAs you described yourself OP, Nixon was a fairly moderate social democrat leaning type but was socially conservative.You forgot>pro Union, the hardhats loved him>Shilled for UBI, but it didn't pass eventually>pro cheap College/easy loans>zero tolerance for segregation
>>18003855He understood what it takes to end a war
>>18003855Because he was tough on crime and a socially Conservative President when left-wing terrorism was massive in the US
Do you think Nixon liked chicken nuggets?
It was a culture war thing. As other anons have pointed out he was the kind of moderate Republican that couldn’t even exist today, but he represented everything “the 60s” was against. The Man, the ultimate square, somehow even worse than loud crude Texan LBJ. Think of how liberals look at Trump today and dial that up a hundredfold. Nixon was going to bust the free love rock and roll orgy, cut off your hair and send your ass to some Asian jungle. Establishment Dems at least played nice until Watergate but to the cultural left he was the Antichrist.
