What has changed, I think, is that one party has become dominated by emotionally immature people who do not think clearly on major issues. People say Leftism is a mental illness, and I think that is true.
In the 1960's, there were certain Liberals (JFK, RFK, MLK, and Hubert Humphrey come to mind) and things weren't too crazy. But then JFK, RFK and MLK got killed. I think at that point the American Left gave up on Liberalism and walked away from the survivors like Hubert Humphrey. Instead, we got the Black Panthers, Weather Underground, and Hillary Clinton. Ever since, the Democrats have been dominated by people who don't have their head screwed on srtraight.
They hate this country because their dreams of Liberalism was taken away from them in their youth. Ever since, they have hated this country and sought to bring it down, and they indoctrinate the young in similar thinking. Howard Dean is crazy, Nancy Pelosi is crazy, all the Dems are.
You had a Communist sympathizer who visited the Soviet gulags and did not speak out as VP for FDR.
Liberalism did not change with the death of JFK. Socialists felt victorious after they hounded McCarthy. The KGB files showed that the “Red Scare” wasn’t a lie.
Meanwhile we have a Global Warming Scare today and Democrats like RFK Jr. calling anyone who denies it a “traitor” and says that we should be tried for “treason” to the United States.
