Was Humphrey as far apart ideologically from McGovern and McCarthy as Sanders is from Bloomberg?
Humphrey at least had the benefit of being VP and twice as many delegates as McCarthy.
Now, hopefully we end up with Sanders leading in pledged delegates by a healthy enough margin that when he is screwed out of the nomination, Antifa will totally go off the rails.
Yeah, yeah, I get it that Vietnam was the issue in 1968 and the positions of the candidates on the war far apart and the major cause of the riots at the Chicago convention...but at least there was some rationality to the violence perpetuated by the young men there in that the desire to not be drafted was driving support for one candidate versus another.
There is just blind hatred and rage driving Antifa. At least in 1968 some of the protesters were just your basic hippies who put down their bongs for a minute and got a little moxy. In 2020, there will be a sea of masked berserkers who will look something like the “peacekeepers” out of The Hunger Games but in black uniforms, not white, and whose drug of choose is stronger than pot.
