College kids can't hold a meeting because Lefties don't like it and think it's okay to disrupt it. School ignores request for police. I wonder what would happen if the situation was reversed.

I think I'll vote for the candidate that wants to double college tuition.

New Jersey guy flies a Trump "Make America Great Again" flag outside of his home near Monmouth University campus. Gets a ticket for illegally posting political signage more than 30 days before an election. The only problem is the NJ primary isn't until June 7. So far his flag has been ripped down 5 times. Intolerant people.

I keep seeing this stuff and it ALMOST makes me want to vote for Trump, probably like a 0.0001% chance that I would. But it really worries me that people with this mindset are the ones that could win this election. It will just validate their belief that unless people think like they do, they are racist or whatever and don't deserve their 1st Amendment rights.

FYI ... "fascist left" is an oxymoron.

RE: the students:

You know.............I don't usually bother reading OPs that use the word fascist, socialist, commie, whatever rhetoric. They're usually a waste of my time. But I did take the time to watch the video attached to your first link.

There is no excuse for the spectacle in that video. This is a free country. Vote for who you want. Don't vote for who you don't want. Organize pro or anti groups. Say what's on your mind about any candidates. But this video really is an example of so many things that are wrong with what is happening in this political cycle.

It's not OK to co-opt a meeting of like-minded people so that you can shout them down, ridicule them, derail the conversation, and call them names because they believe something different from what YOU believe. It's not OK. Not in a free country. Not ever.

It is also not OK for the adults of this institution to allow this type of behavior. There SHOULD be the ability to have free speech, to believe what you want, and to openly listen to those with opposing viewpoints. The adults of this institution have the OBLIGATION to ensure that EVERY student is heard, EVERY student is allowed to freely meet with other like-minded students free from harassment,, EVERY student is provided with respect, and EVERY student is provided with "safe space".

The adults of this institution are to blame for not providing those things. They are to blame for indulging bad behavior. They are to blame for creating an environment on their campuses that has moved their students towards..............fascism. Because you remove the ability (through harassment and intimidation) to speak freely, you are well on your way to becoming a country that some of us learned about when they still taught history in school.

I think the scariest part about this are the threats about knowing that each person supporting Trump has an address, SSN, and a job....those are some pretty serious threats. Like if you support a candidate we don't like, you don't deserve to work, you deserve to be harassed at home and have your life destroyed? I mean think about what these kids are proposing with threats like that....over support for a candidate.

The ignorance is shocking, meanwhile we are being told that Trump and his supporters are ignorant, don't understand the constitution, and are full of hate. Anyone care to rethink that?

And you SHOULD be worried.

It is exactly like you say.

This has been allowed to grow and has been even ENCOURAGED and fostered by the Obama admin, and Hillary proclaims loudly for all to hear that she wants to continue his legacy.

THEY are the haters, and they bully anyone who dares call out their hypocrisy.

Get your nomenclature right: the left is Communist, the extreme right is Fascist.

Sharia law is a religiously based (Rightest) police state - like Saudi Arabia.

No, it's a redundant statement. Leftists have always been authoritarian Fascists to their core.

The illiterate right is at it again, demonstrating that they haven't the foggiest idea what 'fascist' means.
