That's the point, a generation of Americans have been so thoroughly indoctrinated by academia, the media, progressive advocacy groups when exposed to an alternative realty (truth) they run back into the cave (safe spaces)
Because of the herd mentality where dissent from the progressive ideology brings ridicule, shaming, hate and even violence since they have no values based on solid principals they cower in their ignorance
Makes you wonder how humanity has survived this long. And if we will survive another 100 years.
