Iowa Lawmaker Introduces ‘Suck It Up, Buttercup’ Bill in Response to Election-Related Protests

An Iowa lawmaker has one thing to say to state universities that spend taxpayer dollars on election-related sit-ins and grief counseling: “Suck it up, buttercup.”

“I’ve seen four or five schools in other states that are establishing ‘cry zones’ where they’re staffed by state grief counselors and kids can come cry out their sensitivity to the election results,” said Rep. Bobby Kaufmann (R-Wilton) to the Des Moines Register. “I find this whole hysteria to be incredibly annoying. People have the right to be hysterical … on their own time.”

Kaufmann plans to introduce new legislation in January that he calls the “suck it up, buttercup” bill.

It would cut the budgets of state-funded universities that spend taxpayer dollars on election-related sit-ins and grief counseling beyond the usual amount related to students for double the amount that they spend on those activities, Kaufmann said.

“I think universities are the perfect place to have these types of conversations,” said Scott Ketelsen, director of university relations at the University of Northern Iowa. “It’s where people learn. It’s where they share ideas. I don’t consider it coddling.”

"Cry zones" over election results is not coddling. "Safe zones" for scary Halloween costumes and political incorrectness is not coddling. Crayons... puppies.. NOT CODDLING! NOPE!

Tax payer funded propaganda mills - filling prospective RAT voter youngins with heads full of mush. Think back at how wise you were at 19 - 22.

I had the thought today that Gordan Liddy used to speak of how the French people emasculated and sissified their little boys after WWI. Then, when the Germans blew through France with their blitzkrieg, France rolled over. The German moms had been tough disciplinarians of their little boys.

We are faced with the same things. Many among this generation of kids were coddled, catered to, and emasculated. IMHO this was all done by design to set us up for defeat, and it will be a near thing if we are able to avoid an entire plethora of false flags which could center on them.

Matt Bracken spoke of these scenarios in the following interview:

Food for thought, anyway. We know the globalists have long-range vision and planning skills. There are those who have made the case that the world wars were in fact manipulated by the same forces who have also been seeking to bring down America. It does truly all begin with the youth, as Reagan pointed out.

I’d use a different word than “buttercup”, but I like it.

Kaufmann was on Varney & Company this morning. His bill sounds logical.
