I think JFK's assassination was the change point we can point to as to when this nation started trending towards communism. It was definitely the point where the people started moving away from conservatism because I think they believed that it was committed by Republicans.

Sadly, I feel that a vast majority, even many here on FR fail to see just how close to we are to having an authoritarian controlled government.

The Kennedy assassination was responsible for starting the division within our nation, the removal of the Lord in the public square, the radical movements of all types from racial to sexual and everything in-between. We became a litigious nation, instead of being a nation that did not run to the courts for everything.

After all, it was shortly after that event that we began to see the nation rapidly devolving into chaos, extensive drug usage, and a high degree of educational dumbing down of the students along with the introduction of the radicalism.

We were in Japan when JFK defeated Nixon, and since my parents were Nixon supporters, I was upset that JFK had won, again because of my parents support for Nixon.

So, this is coming from someone who really had no love for JFK, but looking back I can see connections that helped to reshape this nation, and not for the positive, but for the negative. I seriously doubt that the JFK filles will show who was really responsible. But I pray they do

Everyone should pray for DJT that the Lord leads him to success in this war for the soul of this nation that the Lord was responsible in its creation to begin with. The moment that the Supreme Court ruled that the government could not allow religion to play any role, was the other change point. The government does not have to endorse a religion to allow religion to thrive, but it can also prohibit religions that advocate the destruction of this nation which is part of its responsibility.

I think any documents that would have revealed the truth about the JFK assassination were long since destroyed.

I think my parents were initially supportive of FDR (they were teenagers when the New Deal began and their families suffered in the Great Depression) but were later very much against him--so they would have dating the trend towards Communism to the FDR years.

Right after JFK's victory in 1960 my mother made a comment to the effect that they might as well go spend all their money (because it would be worthless soon). But they supported Nixon's conservative opponent in the 1962 California gubernatorial race, and I once heard my father call Nixon a Communist.

A lot of things began to get worse in the 1960s and I wouldn't disagree with saying the JFK assassination was one of the causes.
