3. There are a few factors getting in the way of repeating that.

1) Nixon was not a well balanced psychological specimen, but he was not the completely unhinged delusional maniacal monster that currently occupies the oval office.

2) The Republican Congress in 1974 was an independent entity. They were a different kind of Republican. And I assume many of them were not being controlled by threats and kompromat.

3) Nixon was (mostly) surrounded by mostly regular operatives within the party. He was not flanked by the likes of Stephen Miller and Russell Vought egging him on. His cabinet was not completely made up of incompetent sycophantic sleazes.

I think what we need is a few brave and (somewhat) ethical Republican Congress critters to start voting with Dems.
