“Trump is relying on the ‘unitary executive theory’ for many of his more shocking orders,” said Michael Kazin, a history professor at Georgetown University.

As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: “I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.”

Obama advocated an understanding of government-market relations that fits into a classic Democratic refrain that the historians Michael Kazin and Lizabeth Cohen have termed “moral capitalism.”

Perhaps nothing proves this more amply than Kazin's reference to a "New Deal," a liberal political program that began at the Democratic National Convention of 1932.

As Kazin put it, any analogy between 1968 and 2024 is "more a story of contrasts."
