How did the political left culminate in the 1960s? How did the right respond?

Answer 1

I think the right responded by co-opting the left's best ideas and leaving the left just the absurdities of the cultural war. I mean, no politician is out there proposing a return to segregation, etc. GWB has only expanded social programs. In fact he has expanded the size of government more than FDR ever did.

Answer 2

the left protested and rioted in the streets. the right responded by sending in the police and the national guard.
