The difference is that the rioting and anti-establishment anarchy done in 1968 had a critical mass of society still on the side of morality against it, and they saw the anarchists as wholly ANTI-American and harmful to American society and its future. That’s why the more conservative Nixons was elected as a rational response to it.

This has totally turned around today. The zeitgeist is completely different.

Now maybe half the population supports the rioters. Also, millions of illegal aliens will be voting for whoever is most corrupt/socialist.
