Politics was never the main point. The fact that CTL thinks J.B. Soloveitchik was most qualified to posken for a “Litvak who follows in the ways of Brisk” is more demonstrative of IITFT’s point than politics.

I think what CTL is saying is that the way he is, is how most Litvaks were in America when he was a child. I’ve seen others in that age group (over 60 years young) who make similar claims. They may look and sound like they fit into the MO today, but apparently decades back, it wasn’t so black and white. I’m not old enough to try and take sides on this; I’m just pointing out to IITFT that–I think–CTL means he’s holding like the mainstream litvaks of ~45 years ago when he says “classic,” not the more right-wing Litvaks of today.
