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

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".
