It’s wasn’t that many years ago that “liberal” didn’t also frequently mean Cultural Marxist or even outright Marxist asit does now,
Kennedy was the same, a liberal but not these liberals, not even as his brother became over the years. Yes, progressivism was a cancer in the Republic from its earliest days, and like all cancers grew as a malignancy even though it may have seemed harmless, but as much as I loath men like FDR for their high handed lawlessness or LBJ for corruption I will not compare even those two to the things bobbing at the top of the cesspool today.
What’s UTTERLY HORRIFYING is that 50 years from now two folks will be communicating in whatever means they use by then and one will be saying they will not compare the liberalism of 2020 to the horrifying liberalism of 2070!!!!
God only KNOWS how sick they will have become by then.
However, if they do get that much more progressively demented, there may not be any country left if they are not stopped.
