The last wartime general turned president. Also the last respected general to run for president.
The televised presidential debates. Kennedy won the female vote entirely off physical appearance on television. Studies showed that everyone who listened to the debates versus watched say Nixon won and Vice versa.
The last president to warn about the globohomo complex.
That is a meme. And this is the first time when I've seen any claim about the reaction of 'the female vote'.
the Nixon radio victory emerged in only a single poll conducted by Sindlinger and Company. Considering other polling data reveals Sindlinger’s finding is likely the result of a Republican bias in the sample and not a mass defection of Democrats swayed by Nixon’s substantive arguments. Voters found Kennedy ahead on substance as well as style. Considering the full historical context of the election, there is little evidence that television worked to the advantage of Kennedy and the disadvantage of Nixon, nor even much evidence that Kennedy was considered more attractive. We find no evidence that the first debate was decisive; we find it dubious that the debates overall produced a 2-million vote swing for Kennedy; we find it implausible that the first debate can be linked in any meaningful way to the outcome of the election. We find it more meaningful that Nixon turned a 5-to-3 Republican disadvantage into a razor-thin contest and that he largely did so using television during the final two weeks of the contest. The 1960 election should not be read as a triumph of style over substance.
Kennedy successfully resisted their plans for Operation Northwoods, or so it is said, and defied their demands during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Imagine reading only the abstract of a liberal narrative 😂😂😂😂
Maybe read your own source first and not just the abstract 😂😂😂
Kennedy also pandered immediately to women and vastly expanded globo homo, to include the early work on Johnson’s “great new society”
How exactly is that a 'liberal narrative'?
Can make a difference, or did make a difference? College students from 2005 are not the folks who actually voted in 1960, you know, but those who are probably heavily influenced by the Camelot myth and have an unduly favorable view of JFK.
Wasn't that originally intended to decrease dependency on the government, rather than what Johnson turned it into?
In any case, trying to recast Kennedy as some sort of modern-day right-winger or left-winger is a fool's errand.
This passed by 362-9
Something that is pretty universally supported is not exactly 'pandering'.
“Women totally don’t vote based off physical attraction and celebrity appeal”
And the recreation showed exactly replication of the claim they attempted to refute, the Camelot myth would have impacted both television and radio viewers. This wasn’t some bubble narrative, it completely redefined who we chose as party candidates.
Kennedy pushed equal pay for unequal work. This is why women get paid the same to be less effective in labor jobs even today.
When everyone races to simp for women and potential voters its still pandering
