Reminder: having shitty ideas is not a protected class, and “free speech” does not mean you get to say whatever batshit crazy thing comes to mind without other people expressing themselves

  You just made parent's point perfectly. A total lack of self awareness.

  There seems to be an implication that the outcry is only ever against "shitty ideas". I think there are plenty of cases that prove this untrue.

  Listen to yourself man. By closing the door to debate you open up the floor to hostility. Some conservatives have demented ideas, but that doesn’t mean ALL do. If we are going to heal our divisions it’s going to take more than each side calling the other ‘Snowflake’

    I'm not taking a side here and said nothing about not listening to any conservative or closing off to debate. I'm merely pointing out that "college kids didn't want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A or B" is not equivalent to how classes of people are treated in the slightest.

      There's a difference between "I dont want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A, so I won't come to his lecture" and "I don't want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A, so I think he should be banned from ever entering my college premises".

  Plenty of people on both sides have "batshit crazy" ideas, except one leans more heavily on mob mentality thanks to the self-righteousness that comes with the unshaken belief that you have the moral highground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMc8pczn-hs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMc8pczn-hs

Well, Goldwater tried to warn the Republicans about what would happen if they kept sucking up to the evangelicals, and... Oh, wait, were you talking about Democrats?

I was under the impression we were speaking of government officials, not 19 year old college kids.

I was describing the politicians themselves. But I did conclude that they also fall short in many areas.
