The Democratic Party turned its back on the protesters and ran away from the label Liberal for a LONG time after '68.
By '80, Carter was swamped because of "Reagan Democrats", remember that?

We ate ourselves on the left and that allowed Reagan to happen with ungodly numbers of support - he fucking won CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK and damn near everything else by huge numbers, all while gutting this nation for the next 40 years!!!!

The GOP last lost with Nixon. Since then, they hold the line - even today with sedition and treason on full display.
