What was considered "liberal" five or six decades ago is now center right or even "conservative" in today's political climate. By that same movement, yesterday's conservatives are today's radical right, the liberals became centrists, the progressives are the liberals, and the radical left are the new progressives.
JFK was considered a liberal in his day, but he would be center right or maybe ever considered a conservative by today's standards.
This is why today, the "conservatives" seem to be more anti-establishment" than the "liberals"... when in reality, the anti- establishment right are really more like yesterday's liberals.
I really wish people would quit **** with the goal post myself.
JFK would not be called a conservative, he would be called a Nazi. And probably would be one, after seeing what has happened the past 60 years
