Mentions Richard Nixon a lot. But one thing not mentioned in the article is George Wallace who carried 5 states in the deep south.

When people say politics is the most toxic/chaotic it has ever been, I shake my head and think about that year.

But I don't remember anyone screaming at the sky in those days. Maybe it's all the soy in our food.

Am a big believer in the Jubilee, which is every 49 years. 1968 was one, and 2017 and 1919 were Jubilee years. The quagmire of 1968 didn’t end politally until 1973. The 2018 election results will carry over until at least 2020 as major unrest will continue.
