I think we would be a much more conservative country, JFK would still be a democrat but the marxist would be on the outside, looking in.
I agree with Secret Agent Man. He would be a Blue Dog.
The Democrats of the 60’s have nothing to do with this time. Most of them (Dean Rusk, Dean Acheson) were not weak in National Security matters.
As Henry “Scoop” Jackson said :
“I’m not a hawk or a dove. I just don’t want my country to be a pigeon.”
“If you believe in the cause of freedom, then proclaim it, live it and protect it, for humanity’s future depends on it.”
“The richest country in the world can afford whatever it needs for defense.” (1960, campaigning for Kennedy)
Richard Perle, as you probably know, was a close friend of Scoop.
