Did America appear to be falling apart to a much greater degree in the age of Nixon, the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground than in the Age of Trump? Does modern Internet cloisterkng with ones own just make it seem like its worse now? Worth considering, read and decide for yourself.

No. The early 70s was a piece of cake compared to today. People made fun of Tricky Dick but saw McGovern for what he was, weak, socialist, Quota King.

It was an unsettling few years. I suggest that the difference today is the speed of information due to the Internet and cell phone technology.

The left doesn’t like it when we fight back. To them its chaos.

I remember 1972 quite well.
This ain’t ‘72.
That said, anyone else find it ironic that the Dem party has become the very thing it professes to hate.

ruled by a near-lunatic abusing his power to pursue personal and political grudges. This is simply not true. There was a burglary and Nixon didn't even know about it.
Hillary and her kind got out of college back then and have been destroying the USA ever since.
Voters thought Jimmy Carter was a good Christian man so they voted for him. Oops!
Reagan was our guy. Then voters thought the first Bush was going to be Reagan II. Instead Bush was the "new world order".
Then Bill Clinton ran as a good Christian southern boy (against Bob Dole) and voters wanted a good Christian.
Then the elites merged in DC and pushed the next Bush on the voters. New world order again.
The decline of the elites gave us Obama.
The decline started after Nixon and never really stopped - just a pause for Reagan.
