Yale psychiatrist calls it ‘essential’ for liberals to cut off Trump-voting loved ones during holidays

try driving around with a trump or Harris sticker, or no sticker at all in Detroit, Baltimore or Houston
several years ago I was told you had better be packing a gun if you stop for a light in Houston or you run a big risk get of getting carjacked
parking would likely to be asking for trouble
probably some exaggeration there, but he was pretty serious
dying out ?
a single unhinged, persuasive lecturer has influence over thousands of students in a tenured prof career
Where do you think all the present day 'college- educated' wack jobs got their ideals from ?
biological infection is exponential if the host has weak resistance
You prefer old white overweight Karen? Which compose vast majority of maga women. Ok.
LaRue let me tell ya- back in Oz there was a sociology prof who was an ardent Marxist. All the students knew their final essay had to sing the praises of Marxism to get a distinction or high distinction in the course. However, I was not aware of any students who were persuaded to be marxists, in fact the opposite happened because they all knew she was a joke, a clown. They would mock her mercilessly outside of class. I really didn't see any brainwashing. I think lot more students recognize when they got some radical hippie type these days and tune them out, and will in fact complain about them.
When I get on campus these days I see the majority engineers and computer scientists and biologists etc and they grind away and don't seem to wear their politics anywhere. And the humanities majors are dropping like rocks. Students just don't want to take those courses.
Not to saying doesn't happen. There are for sure those types who expect the world to revolve around their feelings. Who believe shouting people down is free speech. But I think the loud minority being characterised as "all students" goes too far. (By mainstream media, not necessarily you).
#1 you will hear little from Harris going forward .........period. her brand is done
#2. you will hear even less from Biden due to his heath issues - like him or not that's a tough one
#3 they lost, they know it and it was a decisive loss, not a hint of election rigging in 2024, so .......what would be the point ?
Naturally you would say, why did Trump ''lie'' in 2020 ?
a) he is not always truthful - Surprise, surprise
b) it was pretty close in 2020
c) the total vote cast were much much higher in 2020 than in 2016 or 2024, ...... any defeated candidate would be asking where the Fuck did all these extra votes come from ? -take look at the historical presidential elections vote counts, 2020 stands out as an anomaly like an erection on a competitor in a girls swimming meet
d) he was setting the stage for a comeback.... which he did
there will be no comeback for Harris or Biden
"However, I was not aware of any students who were persuaded to be marxists, ? '
How many students?
You keep track of all of them ?
You had in depth political discussions with them to ensure the commie infection had not taken hold ?
year after year after year ................after year ?
'' When I get on campus these days''
have you not watched the news ?
the current crop of loonie left wokester's were not persuaded by reading magazines.
You suggest students are mindless empty vessels. They are not. (Well, most are not lol).
The communist party dissolved in oz in the early 90s. You'd expect these profs, if succesful, would have stopped this.
You must not see many actual students in the sciences these days. We have them circulate in all the time. We're on campus a fair bit.
Yes, I said the types you describe do exist. But you help me make my point. The news that you describe that i should be watching highlights them in a way to imply they are "all students".
My point is the media excludes the majority who are not like the loud empty barrels.
That is my only point.
Its death is slow and will take decades, but that's not really the issue.
Whether you believed your professor or not, clearly the Marxist and anti-intellectual ideas promoted by them have had an enormous impact on culture. Their ideas are propagated throughout media which amplifies those ideas that you thought were a joke by 1000000x
You have men competing with women because of them. You have pronouns because of them. You have woke discriminatory hiring practices. You have representation practices and woke ideology that has infected every facet of Hollywood, entertainment, sport, and advertising.
And dumb laypeople buy into such nonsense because it comes downstream from "academics" like these, and their media icons.
Don't pretend that the world before us hasn't been shaped by the insane ideas that you first heard in your sociology professor's class.
The numbers are declining because having a humanities degree is becoming worthless. These graduates have much less to offer in the workforce than those with STEM degrees.

of course not
there are many brilliant students
the issue is the volume of 'dumb as a bag of hammers" and very vocal and uncompromising students is increasing
oz ?
we have a serious loonie left infection in educational institutions in North America
how's that net zero thing working for Australia ?
how educated people could have possibly thought this was a feasible route highlights the issue
you do have Senator Malcom Roberts fighting the uphill battle though
too funny
I wore a lab coat for many years
Science students tend to be logical & practical rather than emotional which is the favoured entry point for the loonie left infection
too funny
the loonie left does not need a majority, they just jump and scream about a special interest group that is ''disenfranchised '' and then get blanket policies pushed through. in the name of equality
do you have tampons in the men's room in OZ yet ?
the media has taken quite a few steps to the left over the past several decades, reaching a point where they have lost the trust of the public
that is a direct result of turnover of personnel with inflows of loonie left graduates from colleges and universities
the results are in the output from these institutions and it is a problem
Poster boy for bad education and faulty science.
Meanwhile the MAGA regret is starting already.
Where's the usual Meidas guy?...Did the Lincoln Project stop funding them?
Again, I was agreeing on the problem of some ridiculous students, particularly from the left, from the get go but that was not for some reason recognized in this discussion. My disagreement was about the amount of those students, and i felt the over-coverage creates the impression they represent the vast majority of students, when in fact i believe they don't.
Example Buffalo had appx 100 student protesters on the gaza situation. The university has 30,000 students. There were about 15 arrests, of which about half were not uni students.
Quick maths suggests less than 4% at the protest.
And I don't think all students were empty vessels.
I take it you went to uni? Were you an empty vessel? Did you blindly obey and accept every fact and never deviate? I reckon you didn't. I didn't. The Aussie kids didn't.
Same with kids today. Sure, there will be some. Btw, some right wingers too. But not the majority of students.
