This year is a historical year and no wonder it’s very vital we know our history; otherwise we are doom to repeat it. We can learn a lot from our history. History is known to repeat itself.

This year the Democrats convention is going to be in Chicago. The last time the Democrats convention was in Chicago was 1968, August 26-29.

The convention in Chicago in 1968, was a year of riots, political turbulence and mass civil unrest. They had 2 assassination that year. Martin Luther King Jr. back in April, and Robert Kennedy on June 5th. There was opposition to the Vietnam War; which inflamed racial tensions, burning the draft cards, and voter suppression.

We got pretty much the same thing going on in 2024. We have people protesting the war in Israel. There are riots in our major cities like Chicago. Pro Palestine are protesting against the war over in Israel and standing up for the Hamas terrorist group. The Jews are under attack not only in Israel but also in the United States as well. The Democrats are very much divided like they were back then. We have Bobby Kennedy Jr running as an Independent because the Democrats pushed him out.

The Democrats convention will be coming soon and there is already a big concern for another riots at this year convention like there was back then.

Former President Donald Trump is not the first time that a former President, who lost a reelection to win another term few years later. Former President Grover Cleveland, served as the 22nd and 24th president, from the year 1885-1889 and 1893-1897. He was the only U.S. President to serve non-consecutive presidential terms.

Trump could be the 45th and 47th President.

Believe me, if Trump wins the election in November, he would be the second President to do that. He could very well do that because he is more popular now than he was in 2016 and 2020. The last time a President was as popular for the Republicans was with Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Much like, Barak Obama was very popular in 2008 and 2012 for the Democrats. The last time a Democrat President was that popular was 1960 with John F. Kennedy.

Reagan was so popular in 1984, that he had a landslide victory defeating Walter Mondale from Minnesota. Reagan couldn’t win Minnesota and Washington D.C.; but won every other states.

Could Donald Trump repeat the Reagan’s landslide in November? Could he actually take Minnesota?

Ronald Reagan was the oldest President to be elected until the 2020 election when Joe Biden was elected. Toward the end of Reagan’s second term, he started getting Alzheimer; yet he still had more of his mind than Sleepy Joe Biden.

You can’t tell me that Joe Biden doesn’t have dementia. He’s so old that someone is guilty of elderly abuse. Could it be Jill Biden or Hunter Biden?

I’ll talk more about Joe Biden in part 2, the rest of the story next week; when I will also talk about Kamala Harris as well.

The only difference between Biden and Reagan was that Reagan was very popular and Biden is the worse President, worse than Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush.

Reagan was able to used his age to his advantage against Mondale. Biden couldn’t do that.

Stay tune for next week part 2 of Historical Year, as Paul Harvey would say, “the rest of the story.” In next week blog, I will talk about Kamala Harris and such. Hopefully, you will see why it’s so important to learn from our history.

Now I’m a history buff. I really enjoyed history back in high school. There is not much a person can do with a history major. My love for history is coming handy through my blog.
