I have to say reading this Nixon biography. I actually have a lot of respect for Pre-Southern Strategy Nixon in some ways even if a lot of stuff he did I think he was shady as hell like implying the incumbent Congressman he beat to win Congress was a Communist sympathizer but other stuff like accepting a NAACP honorary membership in SoCal while the KKK was still big in Southern California was pretty honorable and he seemed genuinely appalled by Jim Crow that he witnessed as a law student at Duke in Durham, NC. Nixon was an asshole for sure but I easily have more respect for him than Trump already upon reading this.
