Nationalist 'antics' or the future of the GOP? College Republicans are at war

The College Republicans are worried – partially about their Democratic peers on campus but also about other young people who call themselves Republican.

The more moderate among them say they fear far-right students' “antics” will corrupt the party. Their counterparts argue the party is too stodgy to capture the attention of undecided voters. In California and Washington, the groups fractured over who should lead them.

Underlying the college conservatives’ fears: that the Republican Party as a whole is in trouble.

For young Republicans, embracing a conservative identity while enrolled in college is a decision to be an outsider. Many of them say they feel ostracized on their campus for their beliefs, which fosters an “us vs. them” mentality.

Being College Republicans gave them outside support and adult approval for acting like jeering, knife-twisting vandals.

And it's always been a training ground for genuine political vandals, like Grover Norquist, Jack Abramoff, and Karl Rove.

Let them stew in their own foul juices.

Yiannopoulos describes himself as a provocateur and "the most fabulous supervillain on the Internet". Anchor baby now anti immigration Maikan no words ugh
Fuentes followers call themselves Nickkers
I would certainly hope people who like him and the others are ostracized by the majority of students on campus
but look how Fuentes got 82% of Repug students vote in that last Maine poll mentioned in the link because turning point is too moderate for them to pick
Deplorable x10
