How evil was Nixon?

How evil was Nixon?

Not at all, just paranoid

About as evil as JFK.

He did kind of commit treason during his election campaign, making independent deals as a candidate with the South Vietnamese government and undermining the sitting president

He did some shady shit but he wasn't evil. Just paranoid and delusional.
He ended Vietnam war and started Detente so he wasn't all bad

He started the Vietnam war which was a pointless waste of life and he enforced the draft.

Nice b8

Fuck the flag makeup effect is so bad, literally looks like a flag emoji pasted over they guy's face and turned 65% transparent

He's right tho

I prefer this version.

LBJ started the war

He did what all politicians at that level do, he just got caught.

Don't give him credit for that.
He sabotaged the peace talks, causing the war to last years longer than it had to, so that he could get credit for ending the war.

He wasn't evil. He was a good man who understood what he was up against.

You remember George Wallace? Crazy guy running for president that got shot by a leftist nutjob named Arthur Bremer.

Only Bremer wasn't a leftist, he was a fame-seeker in the vein of Hinckley. Nixon had FBI agents plant evidence at Bremer's apartment that portrayed him as a fervent supporter of George McGovern, Nixon's Democratic opponent, then "forget" to secure the apartment as a crime scene, so that reporters would find everything. There are recordings of Nixon's conversations on this subject.

Not much more than any of his contemporaries. He's a pure Boomer meme.

Also, he insisted for years for his cruch to be his girlfriend and they eventually marry

Truly inspirational

I don't get why people defend him
If he wasn't president he would've at best gotten life in prison

Nixon is probably the most misunderstood and unfairly hated president. It's actually very strange that Watergate marks him as one of the worst presidents ever. Because policy-wise and his actual job, he did really fine with foreign, racial, and environmental acts.

I love naive Americans. Surely our government officials and president don't scheme, make deals, and participate in low key espionage against others! Donald Trump? No no, he's a very good guy! He ousted Crooked Hilary and fixed the corrupt government like he said he would! He most definitely did not fill his staff with his own cronies and he most certainly is not subject to nepotism.

...

Carter was more evil. A literal Judas figure that people still can't figure out being behind some of the biggest backstabbings in history.

Shit, that must have been months after Hoover died.

How did he wrest control of the FBI so quickly, exactly?

He pulled out of South Vietnam to appease a bunch of unwashed autists and enemy sympathizers, leading to the entire country falling to communism. Letting communism advance is always evil.

>Crazy
Wallace wasn't crazy. He just knew his constituency. Hell, Wallace wasn't even a segregationist.

Nixon wasn't that bad, Marvel writers are just retarded

Not an argument
