He was conservative in the way that Bismarck was conservative.
People point to Nixon's enabling of the expansion of the welfare state as evidence that he was our "last liberal president." It was really just evidence that he, like Bismarck, understood that when "the masses" are financially secure and able to lead comfortable lives, they are far less likely to question the powers that be or stir up unrest than they are if they live in a state of squalor and privation.
