Compare and contrast our current Democrat President with the one we had in 1963 at the height of the Cold War. Quite a difference after 60 years! To even propose nuclear testing ban in 1963 was so against the mainstream thinking of the time. We were doing atmospheric nuclear test in Nevada and at sea at an astonishing rate. This was radical forward thinking!
Now we have politicians advocating war with Russia over the Ukraine. Russia and the greater Soviet Union in 1963 was Socialist and censored all free speech. Russia today has more free speech than any of the American news outlets. While smaller than the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation is no longer socialist.
The USA is careening towards a Chinese Maoist totalitarian style of socialism using identity politics to divide the American people in every conceivable way. We've seen a great deal of censorship of during COVID and various subjects that run afoul of "woke ideology" that is right out of Mao's cultural revolution.
The cultural revolution in China sought abolish the distinctiveness of women in an effort to eliminate by having them wear masculine uniforms. Mao sought to eliminate the "Four Olds" (old things, old ideas, old customs and old habits). Woke politics cancel tactics and intimidations on universities and social media has many Maoist parallels including changing the very language we communicate with. Chairman Mao sought to break about families. Children belonged to the state to be used how the state saw fit. Children were taught to inform on their parents and turn them into government. Nobody can deny families are under heavy assault in current day America.
JFK was definitely a man ahead of his time.
