CONCLUSION
No doubt the media coverage of the recent riots in Baltimore plays into the hands of the fear-mongers in movement conservatism.
But demonstrations against the Vietnam War persuaded President Lyndon B. Johnson not to run for re-election in 1968.
No doubt movement conservatism has been in the ascendancy at least since the 1968 presidential election, in which both the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, Vice President Hubert M. Humphrey, and the Republican Party's candidate, former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, supported the Vietnam War.
Provided that no deaths occur in the demonstrations in Baltimore and other cities around the country, demonstrations could have a big impact on the 2016 presidential election.
