"Nixon's Enduring Relevance: A Conservative Perspective"

A growing number of young conservatives are embracing Richard Nixon as a role model, seeing him as a precursor to Donald Trump and a victim of a deep state conspiracy. They argue that Nixon represented law and order, hostility towards liberal elites, and a restrained foreign policy, much like Trump. Conservative activists and the Richard Nixon Foundation are promoting this Nixon revival, with some suggesting that his realism and approach to foreign policy could provide a remedy for the perceived failures of President Joe Biden. While historians and pundits have made periodic attempts to defend Nixon, the current wave of historical revisionism suggests that more conservatives are considering Nixon as a potential inspiration.
