Trump represents a counter-revolution against the largely successful revolution that already happened, under the banners of political correctness.
These students understand what’s at stake. Their magic unicorn kingdom of laughably false assumptions could end if the counter-revolution grows strong enough.
What we need to remember, however, is that to elect Donald Trump (or perhaps Ted Cruz) would not end the revolution, it would only start the counter-revolution. We are a long way from defeating the revolutionaries. The fact that they are weak and confused will help us, but there are so darned many of them.
But I am not surprised that they are in a panic to see any sign of dissent within their “safe space” because after all, their safe space is dependent on laughable falsehood remaining supreme over demonstrable truth.
Trump supporters speak of a second revolution which is fair enough, but the dynamics of this situation are clearly counter-revolutionary. The current revolutionary leader must go in nine months. But successors await their chance.
This may be the last chance to pull things out of the fire. Another four or eight years, the natural attrition process of demographics, and the absurd will become entirely accepted orthodoxy. People will lose the ability to reason altogether and the phrase “in God we trust” will mean nothing in that age. The question is, does it mean enough today?
