3. TPUSA on the Cal Berkely campus is a provocation.

They're there to provoke confrontation. They're there to film it. They're there to make content for RW Media.

6. Violence is feeding into exactly what the Republicans want, people.

Violence........then they can ignore the Posse Comatatus Act, enable the Insurrection Act, and establish Marshal Law using the entirety of the U.S. Military across the U.S
Although, the Republicans are already doing this by targeting BLUE Cities and States with ICE, Border Patrol, National Guard, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, etc etc etc.........and setting up D.C. for the Republican Politicians to use DC as their fortress/compound......now and in the future....

They fear that a crowd of protestors will come to DC looking for them, and they want to be prepared to massively combat them. The Republicans in the U.S. Senate, .....The U.S. House,..... and the U.S. Supreme Court,...... saw the damage a few thousand of their MAGAots accomplished during the J6th insurrection, and they fear the same thing happening by opposing protestors in much larger numbers........

Freedom of Expression is gone now
Our government wants to review the full social media history of any student wanting to come into our country. https://thecostaricanews.com/us-visa-new-social-media-requirement-for-those-ticos-wanting-to-study-in-the-united-states/
US Visa: New Social Media Requirement for Those Ticos Wanting to Study in the United States

I find this to be completely against everything we are for. Freedom of expression is one of our basic rights. What are we telling the rest of the world when we do this?
Will you not be allowed in if you speak out against pedophilia?

3. That's an important part of the college experience, meeting and getting to know others who aren't like you

Unless they're with TPUSA, in which case they are provoking others to violence with their mere presence.

So DU thinks the natural response to Turning Point USA being present on campus is to turn violent? Hmmm...

Worst damage from J6th was to your creditability.

So people speaking ideas Progs don't want to hear or be heard is a Provocation?

Taking that absurdity at face value, what exactly "forced" Antifoids to answer speech with physical violence? Instead of listening to some screechy podcast or watching porn of the watcher's preferred sexual orientation?

This all sounds like some weird sort of dissociation on the part of the left. It's as if to say, "If we act violently, it's not because we're violent. It's because you made us be violent!".

[Zathras]

That sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. But just yesterday a DUchebag told everyone that the left doesn't do that sort of thing.

Oh my! Not Marshal Law!
