The year 2020 mirrors the scene in 1968, a past which some analysts say serves as a prologue for the current moment.
Picture the scene: A hotly contested presidential election taking place against a tinderbox of social tensions that ignite violent street protests. Add in a raging pandemic, a space mission, and the U.S. struggling to extricate itself from a grinding war, and you have the makings of a tumultuous year.
Over 50 years ago, in a year that observers declared “shattered America,” festering political and racial tensions led to violent clashes that spilled over into the presidential race. “Think about this in the modern context. The stock market does not always fall in an environment of political turmoil and pandemic disease,” Lee added. The events of 50 years ago are “a reminder that what we are seeing in 2020 [are] echoes of 1968.”
