I thought 50 years ago people would support the President simply out of respect for the office, whereas nowadays they'll stage a protest against the President's new hairstyle?

Nope, they paid close attention to what he was doing and the result. But that said, all they had was the print media and fledgling TV news programs so a lot of the second guessing was missing. By the time you heard what the politician had done, they might print the result in the same article.

What they didn't print is when the President, got a haircut, got a blowjob or from whom.
