Nixon had plenty of wins and took L that would have made society better. His influence to open china, the establishment of OSHA, and the desire to implement universal healthcare.
I think it’s important to differentiate between what Nixon did and the spirit of the time. Many of Nixon’s reforms, while positive, were done in the interest of staving off more radical reforms by the Democratic Party, many of which had become extremely popular over the past decade.

My how the Overton Window has shifted eh?
tbf, the period of popularity of these issues was pretty brief. Proposals which were passed by Nixon ~1970 would have been unthinkable ~1950.
… but yeah, we’ve also lost a lot of fucking ground.
Rare? Not really.
Have you even thanked Nixon yet for NixOS?
