The eerie parallels for democrats between 2024 and 1968 keep mounting and they’ll seemingly come to a head when Chicago hosts the DNC in August.
Back in 1968 the country was in turmoil over Vietnam and protestors took the streets during the DNC in Chicago to protest President Lyndon B. Johnson and the Democratic party’s position on the conflict. They were met by brutal force from the Chicago Police Department and the National Guard and the story became national news furthering the divide amongst the party. Shortly after, Nixon won the presidency with a narrow margin thanks in part to all of these problems
Now, 56 years later the Democratic Party is divided once again, this time over Gaza, with tons of protestors planning to show up to the DNC in Chicago. If history repeats itself it could spell the end of Democrats hopes for this fall.
