  isn't collaboration with Trump enough ground for ostracism? all of progressive humanity should spit in the face of that professor and demand justice. on a serious note: it is quite fascinating for watch US walk down this path. i see striking similarities between what is happening now - war with monuments, renaming the streets, "tolerant" left screaming for blood, witch hunt... between all of this and life in USSR under Stalin. of course, no executions, but everything else is in place. soon you will be removing pictures of enemies of the state from schoolbooks: http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/52af668569bedd3b2643dd68-1176-469/joseph%20stalin%20with%20nikolai%20yezhov%20photoshopped%20out_edited-1.jpg http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/52af668569bedd3b264... (and this is without Photoshop btw!). stroke of a pen, and confederates are removed from the history! the thing is that in Soviet Union they couldn't keep up with removing - once you start erasing the past, you cannot stop. it is very sad and disappointing to see US going down that path. of all countries...

Both working with the Obama administration and advising the Trump campaign on polling statistics are innocent activities...?

  Im not sure what you're trying to imply. No one needs to be completely innocent. And no one is. What's preposterous is shutting someone down for merely showing some statistical evidence of something contrary to a particular narrative

  The good part about predicting economic apocalypse is that you are bound to be proven right every ten years or so.
