Donald Trumps presidency can often feel like an inevitable catastrophe that gets easier and easier to become desensitized to and disengaged from. Trump has successfully deconstructed and rendered irrelevant the traditional neoliberal niceties that have conveniently shielded this country from confronting its history, and continued practice, of structural violence: Trump is an indecent man who has lived an indecent life, and runs the country in accordance with this indecency yet, unlike his predecessors, he makes no attempt to hide his amorality, and we make no attempt to remain shocked and horrified by his cruelty.
The ongoing detention of innumerable migrant children, women, and men has been perhaps the most concrete manifestation of the presidents ruthless disregard of basic human empathy, due process, and the rule of law. Nonetheless, most Americans go about their daily lives, enjoying the fruits of a relatively healthy economy, while our government cages children in harrowingly overcrowded concentration camps and denies them basic nutrition and legal rights. Similarly, at Princeton, as this atrocity has endured, we have gone about our quotidian business with insular, self-satisfied ease, only occasionally stopping to notionally condemn the abuse of migrants.
I have tried to consciously break out of this everyday routine of political complacency through writing. Last summer, for example, I wrote two articles about the Trump administrations family separation policy. I was proud of these articles, but I now realize how insufficient and microscopic my contribution which may be too strong of a word to the leftist Resistance has been.
As we start the new school year, many of us at Princeton an institution beautifully yet dangerously removed from the terrors of the wider world continue to fiercely oppose Trumps racist xenophobia. But actionless ideological opposition is politically meaningless....

Someone got a new thesaurus...
“yet, unlike his predecessors, he makes no attempt to hide his amorality, and we make no attempt to remain shocked and horrified by his cruelty. “
so basically the article admits:
1- obama was a cruel, amoral hypocrite
2- liberals and the liberal media are gullible fools because they refused to see the truth with obama.
He also has a trust fund as you can see.
You realize that the slander that “Trump has created concentration camps” will be used by the left to justify their setting them up for us.
Yep, I had to look up “quotidian”.
Author Samuel Aftel is a senior from East Northport, N.Y. He can be reached at saftel@princeton.edu.
He writes like a high school senior and has the same analytical and thought process capabilities. What a moron.
Its almost like reading an old Norm Crosby bit
Do all of the Klown Kar, 'Rat Socialist POTUS wannbees want to start bugging me in daily fact? You betcha!
Yeah, and we all remember those old newsreels from the 1930s where the Jews were trying to break into Nazi Germany.
Exactly.
seriously?
Towering intellect, Samuel Aftel.
“...an institution beautifully yet dangerously removed from the terrors of the wider world...”

Professor, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t be a coddled, insulated little pontificator and yet be threatened by any real danger. Sheesh...these people really do have an outrageous sense of self-importance, don’t they?
Some parents are wasting some amount north of $100K to have their child indoctrinated in this Ivy League brainwashing mill. A few decades ago, Bishop Fulton Sheen advised conservative Catholic parents to send their children to secular colleges to avoid the liberalism in Catholic colleges. At that time, the better secular colleges at least taught a classic and rigorous curriculum. No more, as they have degenerated into indoctrination centers that would have impressed Stalin or Mao.
You post anti-President Trump articles everyday.
Stupid SNOWFLAKE is mentally deranged and instead of being at Princeton, should be in an insane asylum, being treated for severe TDS and worse!

Typical Nazi big lies. They accuse Trump of doing what they plan to do.
