There's no reason to believe they went further left. The more obvious idea is that they're at the same position they were as when they were with Reagan, the US just shifted so far right, they now seem like the progressive ones.
I read a great journal article on how Nixon "created" the EPA as an intentionally weak body (EPA funding and staff were all reallocated from existing federal agencies) to avoid Congress legislating one (like they did with OSHA that year), but unfortunately I can't find it now.
Nixon had a platform nearly identical to Hillary Clinton's and conservatives were foaming at the mouth like she was Mao's protégé who would throw them all into cuck sheds.

Yep. Nixon would be a pinko commie for establishing the EPA
Not to mention his role in normalizing relations with China.
