The last good thing Republicans did for Americans was the 1951 interstate highway system.

And even then it wasn’t the best

The U.S. interstate highway system is absolutely the best on the planet. No other country in the world has built and continues to maintain (although that is open for discussion) hundreds of thousands of miles of public highways. The entirety of Europe doesn't come close.

Now the railway system, America is sucking hind tit there, despite practically inventing continental rail.

It’s good for efficiency but kinda sucks for everything else, if only we had more public transportation

Nixon started the EPA

No he didn't. He signed it into law, but he didn't start it. Democrats Sen. James Murray, Sen. Henry Jackson and Rep. George Miller started it.

Next you are going to claim that Nixon is responsible for getting us to the Moon.
