Wouldn’t go that far. The 68 Democrat Convention comes to mind. People spitting on our brave soldiers coming back home from hell, start of the overt communist movement in a major political party, JFK shot, RFK shot, MLK shot, Nam protests, Nam in general, Weather Underground, etc.

The 60s weren’t really as great of a time in this country as the losers from that generation try to make it seem.

I think the 60s would have been a fascinating era to live through

But not necessarily "great" in the sense of enjoyable. For some, sure. For a lot - obviously not.

You are mostly citing the late 60s. There is pretty stong distinction between the early and late part sof that decade.
Early 60s had all the good parts of the 50s with few of the bad. Didnt go to shite until 66-67 or so.
