Crossing the Rubicon: American Academia Surrenders to the Mob
Liberty Nation ^ | May 2, 2024 | Tim Donner

When even far-left MSNBC is willing to call out the campus insanity spreading like a plague across the land, we may have reached a point of no return in the leftists’ depraved obsession with one of the most barbarous movements of modern times. These radicals are becoming ever more violent in defending and uplifting a proudly terrorist organization, Hamas, and its stated goal of wiping Jews off the face of the earth. Indeed, when students (and likely a host of masked outside provocateurs) stormed and took over Columbia University’s administration building on April 30, Mika Brzezinski, co-host of an MSNBC morning show, observed that the increasingly chilling anti-Semitic protests at the once-prestigious university have now moved “into the realm of violence” and “look like Jan. 6.”

That is about as bad as it gets for leftists with little else to offer beyond purveying fear of another 1/6/21. How will they continue to effectively demonize Donald Trump for the Capitol riot when they cannot control violent agitators associated with their own party? Democrats’ attempts to distance themselves from the protests are falling on the deaf ears of those who have become accustomed to Joe Biden-era radicalism. Thus, this president is experiencing the worst of both worlds: He is blamed for laying the groundwork for revolt with his embrace of the most extreme elements of his party and yet is subject to chants of “Genocide Joe” from leftist protesters expecting him to call for a permanent ceasefire and renounce his support of Israel.

The Democrats already got a pass for their tacit or outright support of riots across the nation following the George Floyd affair in 2020. At that point, people were still trying to cope with a pandemic, the likes of which we had never before witnessed, and so the...

The problem was the government reaction. Not the virus. Say it right.

Yeah, ummm... they already did that in 2020.

In fact they’re not even surrendering to the mob so much as they ARE the mob.

They crossed the Rubicon when they kicked God out of the schools.

It’s been one steaming pile of sh*t ever since.

Well, except for the Spanish flu of 1918 which killed nearly twice as many proportional to the US population, and killed them younger rather than so many in their seventies or older.

“look like Jan. 6.”

Shut up, Mika.

These violent thugs cannot hold a candle to peaceful J6 protesters who were exercising their right to assemble and redress wrongs committed by media and government collusion--who were invited into the building by capitol security.

Many of those J6 protesters were arrested and still languish in jail to this day without due process.

Stop the Leftist hypocrisy! J6ers--set them free!

In 2020 we had BLM, now we get IGM from the media masters. That’s Israeli Genocide Matters. The BS racist slanders are now BS anti Semite slanders.

“Crossing the Rubicon” is a very poor way to describe these recent events.

The Rubicon (the Potomac, in our case) may very well need to be crossed in the future, but the metaphor doesn’t describe disorder, but rather the imposition of order.

This is called Mob Rule, and it isn’t Democracy, it’s complete F@&k!ng chaos. The Leftists roll out this chaos and the Democrats will pretend they can control it, but the ultimate goal is to wipe out any semblance of democracy in this country and turn us into a full on fascist state

Academia hasn’t surrendered to the mob. They trained the mob.

Where are the calls for Hamass to disarm?

The calls to “Stop Jihad Now!”?
