Former Vermont Governor and DNC head Howard Dean said on Wednesday that the election of Donald Trumpought to serve as a formative event in the lives of young people, akin to violent events like the Kent State massacre and Bloody Sunday.

“This young generation, which I think is absolutely great, is used to doing everything on the Internet,” Dean said in an interview with SiriusXM host Joe Madison. “They don’t really like institutions, they don’t need institutions. If they want a change, they go on the Internet, find half million people who agree with them, they insist on the change and they usually get it.”

“So I really think this election, they’re so disheartened, so down and so tired and discouraged, this may be their Kent State or their Edmund Pettus Bridge, where you finally realize that you’ve got to do something” he said.
