There are both good and bad reasons for the anxiety-driven fear and anger we are seeing today. I think the comp between the 60's and now is appropriate. In a lot of ways, the right wing white nationalist movement we have today is an outcome of LBJ's great society actions that included extending voting rights to minorities, desegregation of schools and the "war on poverty". So it's all one story. The comp is an echo and not a repeat of that past.
fun fact: the vote in the 60's was 90% white. Today it's more like 70%. In another ten years it will be about 55%.
A lot of white men are reeling over being told they are part of a privileged class but they are failures. That makes for a lot of anger too.
I wonder if, 50 years from now, millenials will look back fondly on these days like boomers do about the 60's.
