After a week- this is, again, in 1968, police entered through underground tunnels and cleared them out. Over 700 people were arrested,\u201d Wagner explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight, and that\u2019s remembered as a really dark chapter in Columbia\u2019s history, which is why it\u2019s so breathtaking to see them repeated,\u201d Goldberg added.<\/p>\n<p>Wagner went on to say that, with the 2024 presidential election fast approaching, she could see many similarities to the 1960s and the division being felt by many Americans on various issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country feels catastrophically divided on every \u2014 on every issue from basic facts to an actual policy vision,\u201d she said. \u201cEchoes of 1968 and I just wonder, you know, it\u2019s hard to imagine that this is \u2014 that this imagery of the NYPD storming Columbia in this \u2014 in this moment is not going to reverberate in ways that we cannot yet see across the political divide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg followed Wagner down that road, noting that no matter how unpopular officials and law enforcement had become as photos circulated of them cracking down on protests \u2014 sometimes violently \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russia-warns-of-negative-legal-consequences-as-mass-anti-war-protests-break-out\/\" title=\"Russia Warns of 'Negative Legal Consequences' as Mass Anti-War Protests Break Out\">anti-war protesters<\/a> also lost popularity and public support.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we should remember what the kind of images of protest disorder did in the late 60s. Because even as the Vietnam War became increasingly unpopular, so did the antiwar protests. And it was in part the backlash to that as well as to urban crime that gave us not just Richard Nixon but kind of un \u2014 except for a four-year oasis of Jimmy Carter, unbroken Republican rule until Bill Clinton,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cAnd so I would expect that we are already seeing the backlash to this, but I would expect it to be ferocious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe late \u201970s were a period of retrenchment. And then 1980 saw Ronald Reagan and a conservative agenda that was fiercer, more focused and more effective than maybe any other conservative agenda in ways that we are still grappling with to this day,\u201d Wagner complained, taking the comparison a step further. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s the establishment. The Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society. Any number of right-wing organizations. A master plan to retake the judiciary. I mean, what we saw in the aftereffect of the Vietnam War was really a brand of conservatism, a new Right that the country had never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_731365\" style=\"width: 898px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-731365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC&#8217;s Alex Wagner and guest Michelle Goldberg examined the turmoil on US college campuses.
