Something I don't understand

Why the change from having Jonathan Kent support Superman's career as a hero to opposing it?

Supergirl, as I recall, has always had someone trying to discourage her. In the old days it was Superman. And I cannot recall if the Danvers had any idea she was Supergirl; they may not have had the option to support or discourage her.

Not that comic book characters age in real time but if she was 16 in her first 1959 appearance, Supergirl would have become an adult at a very interesting time for women's rights in the US...

Grover Norquist and his ilk seem to believe that politics is only acceptable if its used to destroy the government. Of course, now 35 years of propaganda against politics and politicians have now caught up with the US right wing, both in the mess surrounding the Speaker of the House and the even more hilarious mess that is the Republican presidential nomination process.
