    There aren’t enough leftists to shake a stick at.

    These protests on college campuses are most likely still populated with libs. If there wasn’t a genocide going on, they would have been at brunch

      True, but there is and they chose to risk arrest, suspension, and eviction to stand against it. It’s likely most aren’t leftists, but this act of protest could be the beginning of a new page of political consciousness for them

      I’d hesitate to derogatorily call any of the students libs

        Time will tell, but the cynic in me has seen these things play out a bunch of times with little to no results.

        Here’s to hoping.
