I disagree in a sense. That was a pretty good list for 1968, but we are in different times now. So much of what happened in 1968 was in great part due to opposition to the Vietnam War.

What we have here is total opposition to the election of Trump and the ensuing rise of violence against Republicans, Conservatives and anyone else the Left hates.

Make no mistake the Left and the MSM are colluding to push the meme of Hate and Violence.

What we are seeing right now is the beginning, the election cycle of 2020 is where we will see all the Leftist elements in full force and there will be violence, a lot of it.

I fully believe that if the Left and the Democrats lose next Tuesday, as I think they will, the extreme elements will see violence as the only alternative to opposing Trump, Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and anyone else that doesn’t support the Progressive Agenda.

The next two years may be as terrible and messy as anything we have seen since 1968, a throw back to the unstable times as observed in Western Europe in the 1960’s a 70’s.

We will all have to vigilant.

For that very reason, it's a smaller group.

In 1968 students were up in arms about the possibility that they'd be sent to Vietnam.

You don't get that many people getting upset about more purely political questions.

Yes, I know that not all college students were radicalized back then, but still, those who were were, proportionately, a larger part of the population than today's leftists.

It could be like America back then, but not Europe. What you see on the left now is mostly negative - they hate Trump. In that regard, it's like American leftists hated Johnson or Nixon. European radicals in the '70s and '80s thought that they were going to remake the world through violent action. Left-wing radicals were more of a problem there than they were here. While you do hear more about socialism now than in the recent past, I don't think you have that kind of strong faith in it that there once was.
