Maybe the biggest thing is the Democrats in 1968 were totally torn apart over the Vietnam War

也许1968年民主党内发生的最严重的问题就是他们在越战上产生的分歧
It was a war zone in Chicago and their convention with anti-war protesters against the police force
争执的战火蔓延到了在芝加哥召开的党代会,反战的抗议者与警察发生了冲突
Being basically pushed forward by mayor Richard Daley who was the Democratic old time political boss of Chicago
而这场冲突的幕后推手正是芝加哥市长戴利,他曾经是民主党在芝加哥的政治首脑
and it led to a pretty ugly campaign
这一系列骚动为人诟病
I hear Humphrey who had been the great civil right champion
汉弗莱曾经是公民权的热烈扞卫者
Being followed by young hecklers, calling him a fascist because of the Vietnam War, just imagine what that did to him
这时候却被年轻人不停质疑,甚至因他支持越战,而称他为法西斯主义者,想象一下这对他有多残忍
美国政治漫画

At the very end he took an anti-Vietnam stance and Johnson cut off the aerial bombing and Humphrey did pick up votes at the time

在最后,他终于明确了反对越战的立场,约翰逊中止了空袭,汉弗莱得以在当时重拾一些选票
but not enough to lead to that pretty resounding victory by Richard Nixon
但那不足以撼动尼克松那场令人瞩目的胜利
And I'm sure a lot of you remember this a lot better than I do, I was a little kid at the time
我敢肯定,在座的许多人对这段历史比我熟悉得多,我当时还是个小孩儿
So, but I'm sure I could say a lot of you know this much more directly, so...
所以我敢肯定地说你们当中的很多人比我的了解更直接
Yeah the question is the decline of northern cities
他的问题是北方城市的衰退
The most of the big north-eastern cities reached their demographic peak in the 1950s early 1960s
大部分的东北部大城市是在1950年代到1960年代早期达到它们的人口最高峰的
So it's really not happening in much a big way
因此当时还没有出现明显的衰退
