If Nixon wasn't stopped, they would have continued until all Americans had been returned to lower opportunity levels equivalent to many minorities before Civil Rights, other than those whose significant capitalist privileges had already been well established before the early 1970's. EDIT: more rapidly returned to lower opportunity levels Edit: It's still too easy to underestimate Nixon Youth.
