That is the problem with America today. Although my mom suffered discrimination, she was a Republican and was like your mom. For full disclosure. I am a Viet Nam vet, and retired officer.

I hated those hippies with bull horn, felt they were a bunch of commies. They were basically students in the sway of commie professors (yes there were quite a few). However as my cloistered life expanded after retirement and I met lefties like the Weather Underground and SDS My attitude about the war changed. It was not a war to stop communist expansion. In fact Vietnam, after the fall of Saigon, kick the ass of China and liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge those are not the only opinions changed.

We are products of our time, and the propaganda of the time.
