"I don't remember reading about any riots back then as we have had since the 60's."
That's probably because the history you are informed of was likely sanitized (especially public school history books). Look up the WWI veteran bonus march on Washington in the depths of the depression and learn how the future General "Doug the corn cop pipe" brought out US Army tanks to put it down.
There are more examples.
There have been far worse times (and far worse human behavior) in the past.
I hope people really think next election and cast their votes based on a composite or optimized basis and not just in terms of a single issue.
