Probably not much considering how popular Reagan was. If JFK being alive could butterfly effect Reagan out of politics, then it would be huge.

No way to know.

It would have that's the point.

The Left-Wing or the Hippie movement scared the crap out of the GOP.
Kennedy wished to deescalate Vietnam, as kids were being conscripted into service for a war they didn't even understand. It, and a lot of other things were reasonable grievances.

The Right-Wing saw this coming are really got their duck in a row quickly, their message has been on point for decades.....and now we have Sean Hannity.

Difficult to imagine: his legacy would undoubtedly have been tarred by Vietnam. He would probably have backed his brother in 68 over LBJ, but RFK would probably find it harder to question US strategy/involvement in Vietnam if JFK was its architect.
Its a question for Rick Perlstein.

It would be worse, most likely. LBJ was a good President.

The 2nd half of the 20th century could have been completely different possibly. If it led to a more mild GOP and no alt right extremism, then we live in rhe wrong timeline sadly

It's better than the Nixon-for-life timeline of Watchmen, at least.
