    I swallowed my misgivings and voted Democrat, just like I've done at each election since I turned 18, but handwaving away valid criticisms is not how you get people to side with you. Pressure needs to be put on the democrats to be better, too.

    “…illegal protest…”?

    Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.

    This is the same as the Zelensky trap. They're going to cut federal funding regardless. The just plan on getting you to bend the knee before hand.

    What's an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

    Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn't control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

    This happened before: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl

    The amount of times I've heard salty right wing grifters complain about Orwellian censorship on literally everything. But I guess it's just fine if cult leader Trump does it, because he stands for what's right and sticks it to those progressive plebs, right?

    All federal funding will stop

    That's the only part here anyone needs to know.

    He'll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.

    Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it's a bodily function.

    Does "NO MASKS" mean that choosing to wear a mask to protect your health is now forbidden at colleges or is there another meaning that I don't understand? It is so random and has nothing to do with the rest of the post except for being "woke".

    This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.

    I remember when the Democrats brought down the hammer hard on anti-genocide protestors in universities. Trump is doing the same, but expanding it to all protests.

    Well that's easy. The protests aren't illegal. Therefore this amounts to nothing.
