Again, you’re referring to approval ratings and public perception in a time before the internet and access to instant information and manipulation to the entire population. Back then you had newspapers, radio, a handful of TV channels shaping the entire public discourse and opinion. Now there are billions of websites, television shows and channels in an age of digital manipulation and false narratives that influence the public on a scale nobody could even imagine back then. This isn’t even including the fact that public attitudes and ideals have shifted in the almost 50 years since Kent State happened.

We can agree to disagree peacefully.
