    Nixon and Reagan were pretty moderate on today's scale

    Nixon did OSHA and the EPA

    Reagan did his gun thing

    Their words and speeches were conservative and law and order and America first type stuff

    Still hated and berated

    Nixon was not on most things conservative. Not on abortion, spending, wage and price controls, affirmative action. He was a law and order and hated commies.
    Which was the real reason the left hated him.

    The left said he was a red baiter and smeared his opponent in 1948 or something.

    McCarthyism was another charge

    Saying your opponent was controlled by Russia.

    Imagine doing that

    Except in the 50s the Soviets were spying. But still

    And just like how the Russians funded the Green New Deal crowd today, they bankrolled much of the left wing actions from the 1920s going forward.

    Nuclear Freeze movement was bankrolled by the Soviets.

    Hollywood 50 years ago: “we need someone with a conservative mind in the office.”

    Hollywood now: “Conservatives are racist and fascists!”
