On domestic policies, Nixon was very liberal. Title IX, the EPA, etc...
Wgae and price freezes! HUD!
So was society, different time, people still thought WWII/Depression-style big government was a panacea, it solved those problems so it can solve all others!. The WWII problem perhaps it solved, the Depression NO! However everyone include the GOP (The Me-too Party!) believed it to be so! My super-conservative father thought government was more a problem solver then problem creator.
Nixon was a much better human being then Bubba, Zero or Hellary
