@clew@ecoevo.social The Kennedy administration was pretty much the first incredibly televised presidential couple. Jackie herself was viewed by many as extremely glamorous, and a lot of women idolized her. People were used to first ladies being kinda frumpy, not 31yo bombshells.
She influenced fashion significantly, and she never appeared in public without makeup.

That doesn't explain why conservatives flipped so much harder than liberals, though, does it? Why would conservatives -- who were suspicious of Catholicism and the last of the New Deal -- be *more* persuaded by JKO than liberals were? @twipped@twipped.social @idlestate@toot.cat @CosmickTrigger@social.edist.ro @desiree@chitter.xyz
