No 1960s radicalism

What if instead of all the cultural changes hitting at once in the 1960s(presume either nixon winning or vietnam handled with a korea style partition early on) they happened gradually with no strong radical movement? How different does america look now

Social liberalism would have been a slower, more acceptable movement that would never be as dangerous as it is today.  The conservatives would thus be less bitter-and not bothering to change the party towards the religious right in order to oppose the non-existant radical liberalism.


Thus, close to utopia.

I concur. We'd likely see just desegregation with no doing forced busing/affirmative action. also no culture wars.

The sad thing is there are lots of people at my campus that want to 'relive the past' that they've never lived in the first place.  Comparing Vietnam to Iraq, the 'anti-gender' people, economic leftists, Che supporters, and other losers who have no real intellect-but want to be part of a movement.
