Both sides were much more extreme by comparison... domestic terrorism, church bombings, lynching, rampant violence and then contrast that with the government actions of mass incarcerations, beatings and shooting truly non-violent protestors, and subversive domestic policies enacted at federal, state and local levels.
It really doesn't compare to the nonsense of Trump running his filthy mouth, the Jan 6th civil unrest and associated bullshit. I find many reactions today far too extreme and the emotionally overblown moral outrage is just laughable... based on what really occurred today verses the mass atrocities that went on when I was kid.
Seems like all of you outraged pussies need to grow some spine and calm the fuck down..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

When you frame current events over the last 5-7 years with the time I referred to involving the Civil Rights movement and the war in Vietnam and associated riots, civil unrest and brutal violent climate within the US comparing then and now... it's a really stark difference between then and now.

Also it is worth mentioning that Nixon resigned when the Republican senators stood up to him over his unacceptable behavior...Comment

You could pick any era from post WWII to present and find something to be less than proud of in US culture, world affairs, etc.
There is a strong sentiment of America first that's predominate among the middle of the political spectrum. Plus many who would prefer we cleanup our domestic issues rather than trying to solve or funding global conflicts."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

It's just not how the world works any more if it ever did.
Spurious example but I went to do a charitable job in Ghana a couple of years ago to help kids with heart disease and the invasion of Ukraine meant that a router for internet access to the clinic didn't arrive and a bunch of money was wasted flying me there. This stuff happens all the time. Biden or Trump doesn't get to choose their inflation.
Solving global conflicts saves and makes money. Spending a trillion on a pointless war in Iraq doesn't for 99.9% of Americans who didn't own shares in Halliburton or whatever.
Soft power is the best power. The US and the UK used to be brilliant at that. It's cheap and no one dies. Now our idiot politicians have lost us a bunch of it partly by losing the high ground but mainly by this isiolationist shit.
We are being replaced all over the world by China in this and it's depressing.Comment

I understand your point that isolationist shit reduces power and influence plus opens up other countries to be bullied by some other less desirable faction... China for example.
But one point you made in reference to soft power... being cheap and no one dies... struck me as true to a degree, but wasn't that soft power achieved by both the UK and US through massive expensive military conquest and a whole lot of people dying to reach that power point..?"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Not at all looking good for orange F A T T Y
In pre-trading hours on Monday, Trump Media & Technology Group fell more than 10%, falling from approximately $29 to $27. The fall came as Trump headed into a Manhattan courtroom where he faces more than 30 charges over a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair.Comment
