I'm too young for the 1960's but I remember that Reagan jacked up the Soviets and the American left (media/academia) collectively shit themselves. They thought we would surrender to the far superior Soviet way of doing things. Pathetic to see them harp on Russia for 4 years when they never had anything bad to say about the Soviets or communist Cuba for 30 years. When the Soviet Union dissolved, papers came out that showed Senator Kennedy was working through back channels to undermine Reagan in exchange for favorable deals. This was directly working with an enemy of the United States, but no one impeached Kennedy for treason. I will never forget how disloyal the American left is to this country. I went to an American university and met actual Marxists. There is no changing their mind - they have a deep resentment of America and what it stands for.
