Not to minimize what’s happening now but easy to forget the breadth of violence in 1968. Two political assassinations in a two month period; the highest US casualties of the war in Vietnam & the riots following MLK’s death were the most violent period in US since the Civil War

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.
