The Real Reason Yale Professors Are Leaving Trump’s America
The American Spectator ^ | 15 May 2025 | Aubrey Harris

Elite panic equates patriotism with fascism.

We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the U.S.,” a Wednesday New York Times headline read.

Sure, plenty of well-known Democrats (mostly from Hollywood and the media) vowed to leave the U.S. in the event of a second Trump presidency: Sharon Stone, Cher, Barbra Streisand, Raven-Symoné, Whoopi Goldberg, Elon Musk’s gender-confused son Xavier Wilson, and even Cardi B rank among those who’ve at least hinted at that kind of radical action. But few of them have actually done anything about it.

But even the New York Times knows that nobody takes the vague premonitions of actors, entertainment media figures, and models seriously. To have three Yale professors who actually study the tragic events of the past century leave the U.S. because they think their country is going in the direction of Nazi Germany — well, that’s sensational.

The New York Times piece was a video opinion by history professors Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore who are married, and philosophy professor Jason Stanley, in which the threesome explained that they’d relocated to the University of Toronto, and they thought the U.S. was turning into a fascist state with President Donald Trump as its burgeoning supreme leader.

They cited ICE’s detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk, whose student visa had been revoked alongside thousands of other international students, after the federal government accused her of engaging “in activities in support of Hamas.” They explained that “American exceptionalism is basically a way to get people to fall into line.” After all, if America is an exceptional place where fascism can’t happen, then “you don’t have to do anything. Whatever is happening, it must be freedom.”

The fact that such shallow intellects are professors at what are supposedly our most elite universities shows how those institutions are nothing more than anti-American ideological training camps and founts of propaganda.

The long march through the institutions now requires them to be purged root and branch if there's any hope of restoring them.

Trump’s America is American’s America.

Americans voted for Trump.

Americans voted for MAGA politics.

MAGA is All-American.

“accused her of engaging “in activities in support of Hamas.” They explained that “American exceptionalism is basically a way to get people to fall into line.” After all, if America is an exceptional place where fascism can’t happen, then “you don’t have to do anything. Whatever is happening, it must be freedom.””
They explained? They spewed irrelevant gibberish. They pretend they know what other people are thinking - because they just know these things, after smoking pot for 30 years and becoming professors.

Let’em leave and don’t let the border doors slap your posterior on the way out. You’ve screwed up this country enough.

The mediocrity of their intellect is revealed by the banality of their ideology.

Lefties are always leaving America for one reason or another, whatever is fashionable at the time. All it means is that they are socialists and they want to go live under that form of govt because it isn’t happening fast enough here.

Exactly. Just leave:
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart
immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!

Is anyone more authoritarian than a leftist college professor? Sure, they like to repeat Voltaire’s (alleged) quote on defending to the death your right to speech, but say something against the uni-thought of the day and you can kiss your college career, either as student or teacher, goodbye. Say that that there are only two sexes and that gender is for language and it’s off to Room 101 for you.

Tragic, my foot. What drama queens.

But yes, this news IS sensational.

And awesome.

And spectacular.

And I hope more follow suit.
