You have to understand the deep and almost psychotic hatred and long term grudge holding that is a hallmark of leftism. Nixon ran against Helen Douglass in the late 40's for a Congressional seat. He made reference to Ms Douglas having a pink slip or something that implied she was a Communist. Leftists went crazy and marked Nixon for relentless attacks over the years. Just like Trump he set off a type of mental craziness where leftists and liberals just lose every perspective and carry their soul rotting hatred for generations. It is like a flaw in their DNA.

The deep and psychotic hatred and long term grudge holding is not restricted to "leftism" - a term that, in practice, died decades ago. What you describe is the reaction of ideologues, wherever they fall on the the now outdated political spectrum, but found mainly in the neo-cons and Israel-firsters. They are single issue types that will not tolerate what they see as a threat to their political objectives. There were plenty of anti-Nixon Republicans, just as there are Never Trumpers.

Might try explaining that to the abortion on demand mob. Those "outdated" terms might rankle you but I can assure you what many really think about the leftist and ANTIFA crowd can be expressed in more modern language but probably not in the comments sections. Were all those anti-Nixon Republicans voting Democrat in 1968 & 1972 when he won big. The Democrats did not have their "election" rigging act together yet.

Well, using today's terminology, the abortion on demand mob are Nazis, because abortion is a part of the eugenics movement, and the Nazis were into eugenics, just as Margaret Sangster was. The ANTIFA types would be pissed on by Lenin and Trotsky. There is no question they are demented along with being the useful idiots of globalists like Soros. In Nixon's time, Republicans were more loyal to the brand, but still less than the cultist Democrats. As for election rigging, it's been done by both parties forever. Johnson wasn't "Landslide Lyndon" in the 40s and 50s for nothing. It was the Republican Tom Feeney, who was named by Clint Curtis in 2000, as the one who wanted him to create a program to rig elections. According to Curtis the program would do just what Dominion and others were alleged to have done. Politics is dirty business, and no one's hands are clean.
