Yes, JFK represented an evolving Democratic Party that was recognizing the moral degradation of racial segregation, but had authetic concerns about eroding federalism. That all collided with the counter-culture which found vast numbers among college-age babyboomers who were just discovering their wings. Unfortunately, many of them flew smack into the wall of drugs, free-love, pretentious anti-everything, and eventual disillusionment.

Oh. Oswald murdered JFK unassisted and unaided.
