Yeah, just like that era, there is a lot of tribalism going on in 2017 politics. Large numbers of people protesting, Clashes in the streets between each other and the police.

But, I just dont see it getting as bad as it was back then. We are in a war but most support and recognize the need. The National Guard is not going to shoot unarmed protesters. There is no widespread appeal for building bombs and or use violence against the "other side".
