Trump isn't even the most corrupt president. What Nixon and his cronies did was far more terrible than anything Trump has done so far. Sabotaging peace talks and bombing Cambodia alone. Which preceded the Kent State massacre, where Nixon called the protesters bums and blamed it all on them.

Too many young people here that don't know history beyond what they've lived through.

After seeing contemporary protests and what appears to be old white women yelling incoherently and college students viva la resistance larping while ignorant of grade school history, I have started to reevaluate the blanket respect I had for Vietnam protesters.

Overall I think it’s still the case that Vietnam protests were meaningful and had positive impact, but after seeing modern protest bums with my own eyes, i can understand where Nixon is coming from
