Is anyone else getting a drift that Maga is involved with Campus turmoil? [View all]

Just a question raised by a much younger person

What a great way to would be to distract the upcoming election and the craziness of Trump at his trials by blaming "liberals??" for the campus riots..

You have genuine concern of Gaza residents being killed. There is definitely a place for those demonstrations.

And then you have people calling for violence against innocent people of the Jewish faith who fear for their safety of campus among those demonstrators.

I had not put that together, it sure is giving me pause..
