A George Washington University student is encouraging his conservative peers to “re-evaluate their beliefs,” informing them that they “have access to endless resources that challenge conservative ideals.”

Someone truncated the headline.

I’m sure he finished that thought with “before it’s too late”.

Re-evaluate THAT, Naseem.

Yes, naturally it is conservatives who must be re-educated. And apparently no writings exist challenging leftist ideology.

Inside every single liberal there’s a totalitarian thug screaming to get out.

Though there is some truth to that, who is really getting their belief system turned on its ear via the exposure offered by the internet is the liberal ideals. They are being absolutely destroyed on the internet.

Who is the liberal equivalent of Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson There isn’t one? The left depends on emotion, which never winds a debate.

I always thought liberals were just emotional...

I re-evaluated my beliefs as suggested...

I now believe liberals are just plain stupid fools...

This remark lines up right along side of Hillary, who said “ Christians need to change their beliefs”. (Paraphrased)

Hillary also said “We will have to take some things away from you....”.

By “resources” does he mean whiny leftist feelings not based in reality?

“...or we’ll put you up against a wall, in a boxcar, to the gulag, or crematorium...yadda, yadda, yadda”.

We’ve heard all this before. Come and get us, sweetheart.

They have the Pol Pot re-evaluation camps available where you can stack the skulls of other attendees who didn't become liberal during their visit.

I think we all should re-evaluate our beliefs every once in a while. It makes it easier to defend them. Funny thing is, every time I do, I end up even more conservative.
