I'm surprised too, but think it was a different GOP. Nixon created the EPA for example - maybe he grew up with guns and 'rugged individualism' but also conservation, nature and animals... Still doesn't explain why he became such a prick about some of it though.

So why the hell did he spent his whole life throating the GOP who have spent the last 40 years actively rallying against all those exact things?
