In an editorial yesterday about the events in Los Angeles and elsewhere entitled “MAGA morphs into Make America Cruel Again,” the Chicago Tribune “wondered how on God’s green earth this country can hold it together for three-and-a-half more years of this level of presidential overreach, this amount of hatred and division.” My response is simple: Does the Tribune remember the 1960s? Consider just 1968. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in April. The ensuing riots all over the country make what is happening in LA look minor. You can still see the effects of those riots in parts of Chicago today.
Two months later Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. Then came the Democratic convention in Chicago. I assume the Tribune remembers that.
