However, Kennedy was definitely progressive for his time. By 1960, the Democratic Party was the more left progressive side of American politics. What changed was the racial dynamics and their affect on politics.
1964 voting rights act changed the whole game. Dixiecrats were close to retirement, death, etc. and without the south, the dem party would be nothing. So minority majority districts were created, a bone given to the civil rights establishment. JFK got the AA vote bc he had his Dixiecrat buddies release dr. King.
In the whole history of the United States..Conservatives never supported (" Civil Rights for African-American ").. The party of Lincoln was a Liberal Party during the Civil War freeing the slaves , and the Democrates party supported Slavery. President JFK created the (" Peace Corp ") a origanization that conservatives would've never supported.
If anything if JFK were still alive he would be close friends with Ex-POTUS Bill Clinton and current POTUS
Obama , and looking forward for Mrs. Clinton getting her crack at the White House.
Conservatives like Charlleton Heston marched with dr. King. I never use the term liberal bc it's a lie. Progressives were very racist suck as woody Wilson and Margaret Sanger.

I wonder why I never saw a picture of Charlton Heston and Dr. Martin King together , surely Dr. King would've had him right beside him for the photo opportunities. However he did march in Washington DC and I will honor him for that , however nothing that I said is untrue , and all Rep were liberals when Dr. King was one - and as a matter of fact all of you Conservatives called Dr. King A Communist.
The democrats have been hijacked by the liberals....
And the Republicans by religious fundamentalists.
