Nixon, Ford (for pardoning Nixon), Reagan, Bush, Bush II, and finally Trump. Not even L. Brent Bozell Jr. ghostwriter for Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative," could have seen this coming.

Richard Milhouse Nixon not only wasn't convicted of his blatant crimes, he recieved a full presidential pardon, events which set the tone/laid the groundwork for the increasingly naked corruption of American politics in general & the Republican party in particular through the 20th & 21st centuries…

Bozell arguing for incrementally dismantling the state.

“The government must begin to withdraw from a whole series of programs that are outside its constitutional mandate—from social welfare programs, education, public power, agriculture, public housing, urban renewal and all the other activities that can be better performed by lower levels of government or by private institutions or by individuals. I do not suggest that the federal government drop all of these programs overnight. But I do suggest that we establish, by law, a rigid timetable for a staged withdrawal.”
― Barry M. Goldwater, The Conscience of a Conservative
