I think what sets it apart is violence back then was specifically targeted and meant to achieve political means. It wasn’t random violence; it was targeted at politicians or political land specifically and/or targeted at counter-offensive parties. The difference now is 3-fold IMO;
A) centralized technology and communication make real threats easy to foil + legit everything is a fed infiltrated operation anyway
B) everything is just a media-sustained LARP now days (Antifa vs Proud Boys in a Walmart parking lot) and it’s hard to imagine that culture fading
C) as evidenced by 2020 riots everyone would rather kill each other before even thinking of going anywhere near the sacred cattle that is the actual meaningful points of power because everything is individualistic rather than for a real cause
Neoliberalism and its consequences has been disastrous for the human race.
The everything being a fed operation hits hard, like no matter what org anyone joins you're just gonna be thinking are there bunch of feds here, how can u trust anyone, and if you dont join anything then ur exactly doing what the feds want lol. Guess the best road to take then is dont think too much of it.
if you Google bush+fascism or some derivative of that (bush+dictator, bush+authoritarian, bush+fascist, etc.) on Google and set the date filter to before 2008 you’ll find tons of articles from academia, blogs, & editorials in major news sites accusing him of such lol
Can't wait til Bush dies
my prediction is gonna be Pete vs Trump, Trump is gonna come out as gay the night before voting, win by a landslide and become Americas first gay president
The problem is Obama captured that people's champ energy. Gonna be hard to recapture with these soulless politicians.
The democrats are just placeholders until the next republican comes in to move the ball downfield. That's not new

This. Kamala made herself look like a clown straight out of the gate with her horrible debate showings and her weed in college bullshit
Conservatives in general want to keep the status quo and go back to “a time when it was great”, it’s a regressive strategy with no forward thinking to move society forward. To accomplish things as a conservative is to literally tear down the structure of government competence.
Yea both parties are ass but one side at least as some factions of its base trying to improve society as a whole not as individuals
tearing down the government sounds good to me.

They always do that. Wouldn’t be surprised if obama got compared to hitler too
