In the 60’s, JFK, RFK, and Teddy were all in the formative stages of Leftist politics. The Kennedys were all about the gov’t (”ask what you can do for your country...”).
The debauched and ruinous Teddy Kennedy in the 80’s and 90’s is a good picture of where JFK was headed, morally and politically.
All this “Camelot” about JFK is a bunch of bone-headed nonsense - the Bleeding Heart “Liberal” (personified by the “peace and love” hippies) unmasked as today’s America-and Freedom-Hating Fascist Leftist.
“All this ‘Camelot’ about JFK is a bunch of bone-headed nonsense... “
I’ve heard that the whole Camelot shtick was invented by Jackie because she was obsessed with the Broadway play. It happened to fit in nicely with the optics of their attractive family and the Presidency, so she grabbed the name for her little fairy tale.
Big Government in and of itself, isn’t necessarily a Left or Right thing.
Plenty of “Right Wingers” also believe in big government.
