      I don't know if this is how 1968 felt. I wasn't there. But here is how it seems similar: there's too much happening at once. It always boggled the mind: how could you have war and assassinations and riots and election at same time? Well, just swap in pandemic and econ collapse.

      This is worse than 1968 because the virus is happening at the same time, shutting down regular life and and the economy while similar racial and political battles are going on. 1968 was horrible but 2020 is already much, much worse.

      Counterpoint is that LBJ at his worse was never as disengaged from office the way Trump is. The novelty of the current situation is a series of crisis and a sinister buffoon uninterested in governing at the top.

          It does seem interesting how on this of all days, Trump has gone almost silent

          LBJ had empathy. Trump does not.

          Is he uninterested in governing or interested in dismantling the very core of governance as we know it?
