The hippies of then are the conservatives of today.

A really simple comparison but you should get the point. More of a mindset that we are actually hippies.

Some are, some aren't (and are responsible for all the woke madness, today). A perfect example are my dad and one of his friends growing up: they both went to Woodstock, were both hippies. My dad's super conservative today, loves Trump. His friend is super liberal, hates Trump, and is a tenured professor that's been indoctrinating students into the intersectional woke ideology for decades now. That generation is the foundation for all the international woke ideology in society today, and it originated with them in academia (w/ critical theory initially) from that era, and spread out into culture by them and increasingly so with every generation to follow

That’s complete bullshit. The commie radicals of the 60s are still commie radicals. Plenty of boomers are conservatives now but they weren’t the bomb throwing radicals.

Yup. Saw many Trump 2020 flags and yard signs in the the town of Woodstock and many many more in Liberty/Bethel (the actual town of the festival).

Saw a single sign for Biden there and to date is only sign I’ve seen despite putting 1000s of miles on my car road tripping this summer.

For the most part, people were protesting the draft to fight a (Democrat) war no one cared about. Plus, you could get out of going if you were in college. Really, it was a valid protest issue, unlike a lot of whst is going on now.
