This is simply delusional.
Whatever you think of student protesters, they have no actual power whatsoever. On the other hand, the current Presidential administration has worrying ties to white supremacist/nationalist movements and has made a number of alarmingly authoritarian statements.
When "left wing authoritarians" hold the Presidency, or any position of power whatsoever anywhere, then you can have a discussion about which is worse.
- alexanderstears 9y agoBy all accounts, the Trump administration seems more constrained by the rule of law than the Obama administration. Exhibit A being the DOJ settlement money that the Obama administration steered towards liberal activist groups. Left wing authoritarians hold significant power in colleges and businesses. Look at how they handled Bret Weinstein or James Damore.
