- Abstract
The article presents information on the failed presidencies of the U.S. 37th President Richard M. Nixon and 38th President Gerald R. Ford who spoke of liberalism however left it in disarray. It informs that the year 1975 to 1979 witnessed the growth of neo-conservatism, the "New Right," the religious right, and anticommunism which lead to the transformation of the U.S. in that era. It informs that supply-side economics also contributed as groundwork for the transformation of the U.S. It notifies that Nixon often talked about liberalism despite he talked conservatively, and therefore many conservatives regarded him as a traitor. In contrast, Ford thrived on mutual trust and friendship, conciliation and compromise.
