Huge difference. In 1967/68, the democrat mayor of Chicago gave the police the order to shoot live ammunition at rioters in order to stop them. Now the democrat mayor and the DNC supports the rioters and their party created this video - https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=c9nTxOMtbEI
As you can see from that video, we are far worse off.
In 1967, Los Angeles also had a Democrat mayor—Sam Yorty—who was more conservative than most Republicans at the time.
Back then, society was still run by adults. The Democrats were adult.
Now, the ones running the show are either wimps or children in adult bodies. We are dangerously stunted.
