The Greatest Generation consistently voted in Liberal pols for election after election. The Republican Party was not even competitive during their time. Conservatism was a cry in the wilderness during the hey day of the Greatest Generation. When the Boomers reached their 30’s, Ronald Reagan was elected. This would of been impossible during the 1950’s, a time of liberal total dominance. Granted on social issues the prior generations were more conservative, but on fiscal issues, the Greatest Generation was as far left as you could get.
True! We forget that they gave us 4 terms of FDR and then reelected Truman.
