I was always amused by the fact that some of 60’s radicals from my parents’ generation ended up becoming more conservative than those they protested. And others who to this day are to my left. And then there are those like my folks. Stuck in the middle between those who did a complete 180 and those who stayed the same. Also equally amused by people who were right wing in the 60’s but became more left as the years went on. I guess Goldwater is somewhat an example of that but in a way I feel Goldwater really didn’t change but conservatism did.
