    My point is centrists folded because it became ideologically and politically the path of least resistance because civil rights activists, leftists and radicals created those conditions and made ignoring them no longer possible (which is what centrists almost by definition always want to do).

      And my point is — Why didn’t Conservatives of the time fold?

      I’m not sure what you think I’m arguing about, but the only thing that matters is that Liberals were the gateway through which progressive activism found a voice. After all, there wasn’t a single leftist in Congress at the time.

      So thank a liberal for at least being capable of being pressured when a conservative at the time could not be.

        Lol that is a ridiculous thing to ask me to thank someone for.
