For a primer I suggest reading Norman Mailer's "Miami and the Siege of Chicago."
Of course, today's Yippies are not protesting being drafted to die in South East Asia... they are just virulent anti-semites/anti-Americans.
Meanwhile, Chicago's current mayor is no Richard Daily... and might even join the street festivities.
But how insane a scene will we witness in Milwaukee (a verrrry BLUE city) with the Trump circus?
Whoa Nellie!!!!!!

“It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” He called out two GOP colleagues — Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and Bob Good (Va.) — who have broken with Johnson and voted against other legislation proposed by the GOP majority.

But I'm sure they'll come together and cheer the nomination of a Rapist, Fraud, Insurrectionist and Lap Dog for Vladimir Putin...to name just a few of the "Qualities" Donald Trump would bring to the Presidency of the United States...

The assasination of Bobby Kenedy had a major impact. Nixon would have lost to Bobby.
odds that the GOP actually presents a party platform that outlines all the beautiful things they'd do after 1/20/2021 that they failed to do after 1/20/2017?...and what are the odds that DJT continues to follow the Kremlin playbook for dividing and weakening the U.S. and its alliances?
It may be hard to believe but Nixon was as hated as is Trump AND he was not even liked as a person by Republicans.
But after the Chicago Democrat convention he never trailed.
It was the height of the counter culture revolution, which was akin to wokism today.
Do I wish today's domestic leftists will riot in Chicago and condemn our Weekend at Bernie's President to a resounding defeat? Hell yes!

more years of him. He’s voting for him cause he likes his “policies”.
Who votes for a madman due to liking the madman’s policies? Isn’t the fact that he’s a madman enough to disqualify him?

Eli, Cole. Baron, iggles, and the rest of the Trump cock suckers. Odd bunch.
dislikes Biden. Don’t get why he feels the need to rise to Sleepy’s defense all the time.

noted...which he continues to forget...
He entered the race too late (after he saw how well Eugene McCarthy's anti-war campaign had done)... but there were not enough delegates left for him to win the nomination... and the party establishment was solidly behind Humphrey. Regardless, Kennedy's base was the youth vote (including myself at the time) and we ere the ones in the streets of Chicago.
getting the U.S. out of Vietnam...quickly. Read the attached article...and think a bit more deeply next time.

You are correct though that he wouldn’t have won under the rules of the time.

Probably not the worst sign there, but I thought I'd mention it since BLM is based on anti-colonialism as well (to the extent they are not just an organization to bilk people out of their money for the personal gain of their leadership).
They consider the US and Israel to be colonial powers which need to be taken down a notch.
These movements are linked.
Not sure why they don't realize that the Muslims colonized the Holy Land, or why they don't look on the Jews as a persecuted/aggrieved group. Probably just a tremendous lack of knowledge of history.
LGBTQ for Hamas (who would throw them off of tall buildings).
