As George Santayana wrote, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
While it is unfair to ask the new leftists of today to recall the events of 1972 (that happened 17 years before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born), they would do well to study its history.
Because they may be reliving it.
The election of Richard Nixon and defeat of Democratic candidate Hubert H. Humphrey in 1968 was a seminal moment in our history. The left’s hatred of Nixon was then as great as it is of Donald Trump today, but of longer vintage. The liberals had been anti-Nixon ever since he began his career in 1946.
Humphrey was the Hillary Clinton of his day. A perennial candidate, he was the presumptive Democratic nominee.
