Since these rallies of Trump's are private meetings, one might expect the politically correctness advocates to treat those meetings as a 'safe space' for Trump supporters. Trump is paying money for these venues, issuing tickets, and hiring security. If someone like Donald Trump cannot even buy a 'safe space' for their own purposes, then how is it that leftists can justify the expectation of an ability to establish 'safe spaces' on public property such as university campuses? Unless they are such raging hypocrites that they actually insist that the same standards that they apply to themselves should not apply to others as well.
No it is a fascist action but liberals are overwhelmingly the ones using these tactics against conservatives. So just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
"just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it isn't happening" What, Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination? Last time I checked, college campus protesters aren't going to be a Hillary away from manning the executive wing of the United States.
You're free to counter-protest the protest. Hey, at least you've stopped and realized this isn't the end of the First Amendment, so there's that at least.
Bernie Sanders- Trump needs to tell his supporters violence in political process in America is not acceptable Reporter- Your supporter acted violently in Chicago Bernie Sander- I can't control all my supporters https://youtu.be/TU-Y60zIvew?t=4m44s

Trump is the raging hypocrite. He wants to shut down mosques, why wouldn't he allow people to practice their religion peacefully in private places? Also out of all the candidates he was the only one that stood out. He took a "HEY LOOK AT ME!" attitude and attracted those low information voters that he brags about. Pretty sure there was a poll that said this too, that Trump would lose to any other GOP candidate left remaining if it were head 2 head. Unfortunately they are all taking too long to drop out. For those that support Trump I am left baffled. Why? I mean he flip flops all over the place, isn't the businessman he claims to be, and wants to trample all over various rights and international treaties... Like I may not want Cruz to be president but I'd get why people would vote for him. I guess people are just that naive to believe the guy whenever he says the word "Great" which is about 50x give or take in any debate or speech.
Remember that racist video you posted of SJW a while back? The description had this to say...so Trump supporters are aligning themselves with an anti-semitic narrative Spoiler <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jz5Oyze8ziI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Actual quotes by Senator Sanders: "Trump has got to get on the TV and tell his supporters that violence in the political process in America is not acceptable. End of discussion." "Millions of people voted for me. If I had to take responsibility for every person who voted for me, it would be a difficult life. I never have and never will condone violence. People have the right to protest, that's what America is all about. I've been on picket lines my whole life and that is very different from getting involved in violence." He NEVER said that Trump is responsible for his supporters. He said that Trump needs to tell supporters that violence is acceptable and that it needs to stop. Furthermore, he did say that he never has and never will condone violence. What is wrong with that?
Those of you that support Trump, this is your candidate's idea of Freedom of the Press. The president of CBS News is standing by one of the network's journalists who was arrested outside a Donald Trump rally that was canceled amid violence between Trump supporters and protesters. David Rhodes tweeted that journalist Sopan Deb, who was covering the rally at the University of Illinois' Chicago campus on Friday, was handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest. "On tape you see he did not resist, identified himself as working press," Rhodes said in his tweet. CBS News also aired footage of the rally and of Deb's arrest, which he managed to capture on tape. In the accompanying article, Deb said police abruptly threw him to the ground and handcuffed him. Deb was charged with resisting arrest, "although there is no sign of that on the video," according to CBS. Deb was arrested and placed in the back of a police vehicle. His camera was left on the ground but returned to him once he was released on Friday night. After being let go, Deb went to the hospital to check for possible injuries sustained during the arrest. Before being arrested, Deb tweeted about the chaotic night, saying, "I've never seen anything like what I'm witnessing in my life." Deb, a well-liked producer among his peers, has been traveling with the Trump campaign since last summer. He's what is known as a campaign "embed." Deb is Indian. He has never been to the Middle East (or India for that matter). And yet, he has repeatedly been singled out at events. At a rally in December, he tweeted, "A man came up to me to say 'Go back to Iraq!' I've never been!" And in January, he tweeted, "A Trump supporter just asked me at Reno event if I was taking pictures for ISIS. When I looked shocked, he said, 'yeah, I'm talking to you.'" Deb is the latest reporter to be involved in incidents at Trump events. Chris Morris, a photographer on assignment for Time magazine, said a Secret Service agent choked him and slammed him to the ground last week. Earlier this week Michelle Fields, a reporter for Breitbart, alleged that she was grabbed and bruised by someone, possibly Trump's campaign manager, at a press conference. Several journalism advocacy organizations have expressed concern about the situation. Additionally, clashes between Trump supporters and protesters have led to multiple arrests and injuries at events. A man attending a Trump rally this week was charged with assault after he allegedly sucker-punched a black protester being led out of a Trump event.
Trump is creating an atmosphere of hate. I hope Americans will be smart enough to not support his irresponsible antics. No country is immune to this kind of stuff, unfortunately. Germany has the "AfD" which fortunately is missing a recognizable face such as Trump's, France has Le Pen, and so on and so on. There is a huge difference between being critical of hateful ideologies such as Islam and inciting an atmosphere of hate against people with a different skin color. There is also a huge difference between being critical of uncontrolled immigration and being hateful towards immigrants. Unfortunately, any nuance in between gets drowned out from both sides - leftists screaming "Nazi" and "bigot" prematurely at anyone who brings up legitimate concerns contribute to the problem, and enable people like Trump.
Xenophobia and tribalism are basic traits of human society, rooted in the imperative of the preservation of genetic information. All it takes to fall into them is the lack of a vigorous effort to recognize and avoid them. (baser instincts versus civilized behaviours) How did those German elections go?
Your last comment is spot on. The press sensationalizes positions and the Social Justice Warriors frequently employ the strawman fallacy to make positions seem even more extreme. As I've mentioned, I'm not a Trump supporter, but the left and the SJWs took his comments around ILLEGAL immigration and tried to turn that into Trump being completely anti-immigration. That's wrong.
But people like you don't criticize Islam, you run a campaign to make people believe it is inherently dangerous and are either intentionally or unwittingly helping people like Trump. You are part of the problem and don't want to admit it.
It is happening. I haven't seen any evidence to show that it is overwhelming, or that these incidents are something other than the exception to the rule. No matter what the case is, that PC crap should definitely stop.
You should take a step back from the board to gather yourself. The quality of your posts is very poor. I would recommend fewer, but more thoughtful posts.
This happens on college campuses by a minority of young students who are angry and don't understand why everyone should have a voice, even racists. That said, the right is just as guilty if not worse. They attack people they disagree with as "SJW" and say they are part of a mass conspiracy. They arrest reporters at rallies and attack anyone who looks different. They are trying to prevent people from protesting and having a voice at their rallies by inciting violence against them, and them blaming them for the violence. So you are comparing what happens at college campus speaking events, where kids paying tuition might think they have a say in who the university invites, to political rallies where the organizer of the rally is trying to shut out the voice of protestors by inciting violence against them. Both are not good, but what is happening at the rallies is far more scarya nd dangerous, and the right nut cases are showing how dangerous they are to this country's sacred traditions and rights.
