1968. Race riots, white flight, hippies, anti-war protests, assasinations, hysteria about the world coming to an end, etc.

Imagine 1968 or even 2004 with social media .

What do I have to imagine about these elections? America still haven't dealt with her large problems relatively unknown to Europeans.

1968 were the most polarizing elections. I am currently reading a ton of books about US in these times. Big, big mess, there was a real rebellion against all of it (Vietnam, universities, racism, MLK and RFK killings, lack of faith in Congress and presidency etc.). And now? There is no rebellion at all. Some small parts of people do riot, but they do it purely on principle, they know that this will not gonna change anything important, they even know that their mutiny will haven't be mentioned, they do it purely as an act of personal desperation, it is all so "passive-agressive".
