It started way before Nixon. Think Civil War. Just read the Wikipedia page for Jefferson Davis for starters.

I don't understand why presidential pardons are even a thing.

Yes, and the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision removed the campaign finance handcuffs, and big money corrupted our elections and our politicians. Republicans have been executing a plan for the last 50 years to dismantle our democracy. Listen to the podcast "The Master Plan".

I've been saying this for years. Everything about Nixon set the stage for national (esp Presidential) for 50 yrs and beyond.

definitely in the area of news I do remember that the resignation is what spurred the formation of Fox and or Fox type "news", republicans were determined to never have another one of their presidents brought down by "an informed public".
