Same perps.
Lucky for us some of those dyed in the wool commies of 49 years ago are dropping every day (such as the Marxist founder of NOW).
Yes, VDH, but WHY are all these good things happening? Just say it already.
Much, much worse now than in 1968...not even remotely close.
There is a divide now that the nation has not seen since the first civil war. What is worse is the absolute delusional state of the peasant class democrats and the anger and hatred they see the with. Those are reminiscent of the early stages of Nazi’s and Communists where even families were torn apart.
Hanson nails it.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I have liberal relatives who graduated from Kent State in 1969 and we haven’t talked about the election at all. I was thinking about what I would say to them about my support for Trump and the biggest thing that came to mind was that I now understood how they felt in the 60’s, just that the shoe is on the other foot. THEY’RE the establishment and we are the insurgents.
And the Left has NO IDEA how to handle this. Except to try the same tactics against us that was used against African-Americans’s in the early to mid 60’s. Suppress and play to the worst fears of those in power. And they will surely lose just like those who were over the top against civil rights back then.
I have to admit I am enjoying immensely all of the Trump insurgency, and that is how we should market ourselves. We won’t win all the battles, we have to put up with a few things that make us cringe, but we get to have all the fun this time around.
To steal a saying . . . Keep Our Eyes On The Prize!
I’m still waiting for cities to burn. The leftists seem to have no real conviction
Sacrificing a dirty old man is not nearly as meaningful as burning a city
It’s nowhere near as bad now as it was in 1968. The biggest difference is that no one is being drafted to fight in the ugly unsuccessful Vietnam war.
Regarding race relations, there is so much welfare now with ghetto dwellers being placated with free food, free health care, free cell phones and easy access to cannabis. Plus race relations have improved enormously. Blacks and other minorities are protected classes with easier access to job and educational opportunities that have allowed a growing middle class of minority citizens.
Yeah, there are anarchists, especially groups like Antifa and BLM, but any support they have now will diminish over time.
No, 1968 was far worse.
The 2000 election was "contested", this one was not. Not in any serious manner anyway, the rats have lost the ability to accept a GOP win, a rat hasn't conceded on election night since Dukakis.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton records a video message for participants of the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit in Mexico City, Mexico October 16, 2009. Go to http://www.state.gov/video for more video and text transcript.
I want to congratulate all of you that have come to Mexico City in person and online to be part of this ground breaking summit. You are the vanguard of a rising generation of citizen activists who are using the latest technological tools to catalyze change, build a movement and transform lives and I hope this conference provides an opportunity for you to learn from each other and discover the tools and techniques that will open new doors for activism and empowerment when you return home.
All over the world young people like you are driving progress. In Columbia two young college graduates fed up with violence in their country used Facebook to organize 14 million people into the largest anti-terrorism demonstration in history. In Iran we saw young people using Twitter and Youtube to communicate with each other and the world. Despite a government crackdown designed to keep them quiet. In India a 14 year old high school student from Mumbai used social networking to link together half a million people that sought solidarity and support in the aftermath of the November 2008 terrorist attack.
You have all traveled paths to get here today, you come from different cultures and countries and speak different languages but you all share a common commitment to engaging with the world using every tool at your disposal to bring people together to solve problems. And that makes you the kind of leader we need.
As we work to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21 century, government can’t do it alone, citizens organizations, businesses, universities everyone with a stake in our shared future must take responsibilities for shaping it. That’s what we call 21st century statecraft. So thank you for being on the front line of progress and I can’t wait to see what all of you do next.
President Obama has created an organization called Organizing for Action. https://www.ofa.us/
Hillary’s organization is called Onward Together.

Hello Democrats
After the primaries we came together as a primary to write the most progressive platform in history. Ideas we championed are now inspiring leaders and activists across our country. Nearly 66 million votes are fueling grass roots energy and activism and everywhere people are marching, protesting, tweeting, speaking out and working for an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.
From the Women’s March to airports where communities are welcoming immigrants, refugees and people of every faith, to town hall meetings where people are speaking up for healthcare, the environment, good jobs and all the other issues that deserve our passionate support.

UNICEF Report finds half of all refugees are now children
50 million kids are refugees.
Some 28 million of those children were forced from their homes by war and violence.
And just two countries, Syria and Afghanistan, accounted for around 45 percent of all child refugees.

You can’t justify killing 500,000 people. This was not a part of the war on terror. Hillary and Obama are evil, maniacal and if you, the reader, can somehow justify supporting these two people, there is something seriously wrong with you.

Using social media, Hillary turned the Muslim world into havoc and now she is trying to use social media in race baiting, white privilege, income inequality, and turning our citizens against the police.
Hillary OMG, did I do that? WikiLeaks edited for easier reading.

Since I was college-aged in the 60s, younger folks ask me if the 60s were worse than what we are seeing now. And I have to answer “no”. This is much worse. Most of the problems we saw in the 60s were caused by people who may have had the power to burn down their neighborhoods, but they weren’t the ones in charge. No major political party backed the rioters and claimed it wasn’t riot but “revolution” or “insurrection”.
Fact is, a lot of the rioters/hippies from the 60s are now in positions of power—in Congress, the courts, academia. The “other side” has a chance to win power this time. Just look at the bullet we dodged in 2016.
Victor missed a few things. The narrow miss with AlGore and the bitter divide that happened there when Bush was elected (or as the leftists lie and say “selected, not elected”) and the much wider miss with Lurch. What was also missed was the near election of a man who was put in solely to eliminate Bush Sr.’s chances and then later, BobDole’s chances. Clinton never pulled more than 50%, ever.
So, we’ve had a lot of political chaos, including the country having the worst terrorist attack ever on 9/11 and then the riots and massive protests in the streets against the Iraq and Afghanistan actions, which were legal and authorized by congress.
It’s been bitter for a long time.
But people are used to that divide now.
We may not like the changes that have gone on recently, but they didn't blindside most people the way the changes 50 years ago did.
If you follow TV and the Internet you've seen it coming. That wasn't the case for our parents or grandparents.
