[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am only 37. So, I have not seen much more than you have. However, I remember there was a lot of opposition with Bush. People were really upset because Gore won the popular vote. It was a similar situation. However, this time it is much worse.

While I can't compare to the Vietnam era since I was not born, it's ridiculous to compare the current sentiment to Bush II.  Yes, there was a demonstration to oppose the Iraq War, but that was a much more predictable thing. [b] A women's march around the country and world with millions of people on the day after the Inauguration?!  That really is unprecedented in the last 30-40 years.  I mean, scientists are now organizing a march.  We never do stuff like that.

I have no idea what the next 4-8 years will bring, other than revolting acquiescence from both sides in Congress, but it'll sure be interesting.[/quote]

I guarantee that is social media had been around when Bush was elected, there would have been marches and protests similar to today. 
Social media has allowed people to organize more easily.  
And, I would agree that the protests of the 60’s were much more violent than those today.  [/quote]
