The civil war within the Democrat Party is on full display.
The war pits the overt socialists versus crony capitalists and corrupto-crats and was entirely predictable. Beginning in the ‘60s, sensible conservative Democrats in Congress – the REAL moderates unlike those labeled as such by the legacy media these days – were forced out and replaced by ever more liberal (socialist) Democrats over the years.
Examples include George Wallace, Lyndon Johnson, Sam Ervin, Sam Nunn, and Fritz Hollings. They and the rest disappeared over time, as the Democrat Party moved inexorably leftward. These days, there is only one left in the Senate – Joe Manchin (D-WV) – and he has become a reliable vote for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on all of the truly important issues (like the impeachment votes).

back in the 1960s and 70s we called them Kennedy Democrats because while they are democrats, the trusted and defended the Constitution and the Country.

Deletecapt fast, I assume you mean JFK Democrats. Once he and RFK were taken out, the rest if the political Kennedys, starting with Ted Kennedy, went or have gone, way left.
