     @ThatWouldBeTelling @lain They barely went over Nixon when I was in school. What my U.S history teacher told me was that he did okay during his first term and might have won his second term if he was not paranoid and spied on the DNC. I later watched a documentary about the U.S Biochemical warfare program that credited him for putting a stop to it. The radiation experiments was added into the documentary.

     @lain He ended the U.S' Biochemical warfare and radiation experiments on U.S citizens, so he had to go.

     @MarchionessDawn @lain Naw, he was Nixon!!!, infamous anti-Communist, one of the necessary men in bringing Alger Hiss, spy/agent for the Soviets to justice starting in the late 1940s.

     He was intensely hated long, long before he became President, see for example the utterly loathsome editorial cartoonist (((Herblock))) say “This shop gives every new President of the United States a free shave” on dropping that part of his normal caricature after the 1968 election.

     And bringing Nixon down was just part of the post-Wilson modern Left’s MO, every Republican president following that disaster was axiomatically illegitimate, all Officially Fascists except for Eisenhower who was painted as being too old and not really running the Executive (totally untrue for the latter). All Republican Presidential candidates starting with Dewey (!) Officially Nazis.

     Nixon was in fact a very significant moral upgrade after JFK and LBJ, but the rules were changed on him as the (((New Left))) steadily gained power in the 1960s-70s. Probably wouldn’t have been elected except in part in response to the New Left. see for example the infamous but misnamed “Law and Order” political cartoon https://youtu.be/lV_14O5wuDM run in 1968

     it’s all about order in the face of … well, count all the Jewish radical faces featured starting with the first one; his campaign ran a different one name “Crime” on the soaring crime rates which soon led to movies like Death Wish and Dirty Harry. He and his VP (“nattering nabobs of negativism”) were willing to be culture warriors, Reagan too in a different style/delivery, somewhat like you see Trump and DeSantis in this century, the Bushes of course being totally Establishment.

     I became politically aware during Nixon’s first four years and can assure you the ending you claim he forced of “the U.S’ Biochemical warfare and radiation experiments on U.S citizens” had nothing to do with it. Not even sure what you’re claiming about “radiation experiments,” for example the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty which ended US and Soviet testing except underground was in 1963, part of a campaign by the latter that hoodwinked Eisenhower and JFK.

     Nixon did play a decisive role in ending our offensive bioweapons program, you might describe his as a Quaker who was hired to end the Vietnam War. As an officer in the Navy during WWII he’s noted for being the commander of an important base island in the Pacific and the lots of legal work winding the war effort down.
