Another thing when one of them is speaking about all the things that have 'triggered' them recently in the 'safe space' and they want to show appreciation they don't allow clapping as it could upset or 'trigger' them so they all snap their fingers instead.
I honestly don't blame students like the one in the op being turned to Trump when they have to live with this crap every day and the ridiculousness they see from Hilary supporters.
SJW's are the perfect ad for Trump.

I think these situations at best hint to undercurrents of dogma that does need to be addressed, but that doesn't mean that liberal positions themselves are inherently bad or just leftist propaganda. I think both sides offer discourse that is very helpful to the development of our democracy. Being left-leaning doesn't always immediately lead to communistic/"dangerously progressive" movements... as cited by the article/blog writer. There are plenty of stable-minded, well reasoned and educated liberals who have good sound reasons for their platforms.
These situations are hyper-personalized. I've run into nuts from both aisles. Having lived in Texas and in the Northeast section of country near DC/Baltimore (MD). Once spent $400 for a liberal art's history class that turned somehow into a green peace sustainability class... and she gave us rubber medical gloves to go all over campus to remove weeds/invasive plants (yay cuts
)
But then I get annoyed when I hear the NRA fanatics draw overarching generalizations about the oppositions. In a lot of cases, they are completely disregarding all liberals, including my friends, who happen to be liberal only because of life experiences... which often is the main reasoning behind why one person chooses another "order" over the other.
The division is unnecessary. But powerful discourse
does need to happen... which means sides need to disagree and for those arguments to run their course... the problem is the 20-30% of this country (or whatever percentage) that is anti-discourse, that is they flatly reject what doesn't fit the world they'd like and will be disrupters if needed... to me, it borders on anti-democracy and I hope that we do not head this direction.
