In case I haven’t made myself clear, I do not like Donald Trump and I’m never, ever going to vote for him. His nomination will destroy the Republican Party, if he hasn’t done so already (to which I say: my condolences and/or good riddance). He will ensure what Barack Obama couldn’t: 40 years of Democratic Party rule.
Yet, as loathsome as I find Trump and his lickspittle apologists, I can’t help but laugh at the college students who run for their safe spaces at the mere sight of the man’s name. With the latest on this hilarious trend, here’s Anthony Gockowski at Campus Reform:
DePaul University will no longer allow students to chalk political messages on the sidewalks of its campus because of the “offensive, hurtful, and divisive” nature of pro-Trump chalking found on campus last week.
“While these chalk messages are part of national agendas in a heated political battle, they appeared on campus at a time of significant racial tension in our country and on college campuses. DePaul is no exception,” Depaul’s vice president for student affairs Eugene Zdziarski wrote in a campus-wide email obtained by Campus Reform…
Campus Reform reached out to DePaul to ask why university officials chose to respond to this particular chalking instance despite claims that chalking “regularly” occurs on campus. No response was received in time for publication.
That one’s easy: 1.Even though Trump is a lifelong liberal, he’s running for president as a Republican. That’s because he knows he could never get the Democratic nomination, even against a candidate as awful as Hillary Clinton. 2.Republicans are bad. 3.Therefore, chalking Trump’s name on a sidewalk is worse than chalking any other word on the sidewalk.
It’s called logic, people.
Wrong. The republican party destroyed itself. It has taken almost 8 years to commit suicide.
Yes I am betting on it, that is why I plan on voting for him in the General.
First destroy the Republican Party then the Demoncrats...

We weren’t suffering from pandemic insanity.
The western world is under a demonic spell.
Oh my! I was just getting used to, “moron and loon among others, and now I have to deal with “lickspittle”.
I need a safe space.
Treacher's gone Full Beck too? Good riddance.
This sounds like something out of the movie “Pleasantville”.
Chalk up one more community that will vote Trump in the general.
Switch to ink and let them outlaw ink on campus.
This is the result of raising a generation that, from the moment of its inception, is continuously told how special and precious it is. And that anything that hurts their poor widdle feelings is evil.
It’s the result of raising a generation that wears as much, or more, protective gear to ride a bicycle than the Roman Legions wore to create and keep an empire.
It’s the result of awarding participation “trophies” instead of rewarding excellence.
It’s the result of dumbing down the schools so that the slow, stupid and uninterested don’t feel bad because it is evident that they are slow, stupid or uninterested.
In the process making it harder, or impossible, for the truly bright, energized and vigorous students to excell.
It’s the result of not only condoning but celebrating every sexual perversion imaginable.
It is the result, and best evidence, of a society in the final stages of collapse.
At no other point in history has a single nation risen as quickly to dominate the world.
At no other point in history has a world dominating society collapsed so quickly.
It’s time to finish what was started in 1861.
Let each state go it’s own way and form a government with other states it shares values with.
The American era is over whether we like it or not.
Accept it or not, we are participating in the death watch of a once great nation.
Someone once said “America is great because it is good.”
We have ceased to be good, therefore we have ceased to be great.

I sure hope you are right about Trump destroying the Republican Party. We need it to go the way of the Whigs and start over again. The GOP is part of the problem.
Don’t kid yourself folks. This isn’t about snowflakes. They are told to complain by the profs and administrators. It’s about a total Mao style crackdown on speech offensive to the Party. The kids know their role, they have been schooled well. The administrators then “react” to the phony complaints that they have taught the kids to make. The kids are the useful idiots in this scenario.
This is no laughing matter, it is the taking away of the first amendment.
There should be a mob of people on that campus tomorrow, students and non-students, demanding that the 1st amendment be reinstated, and that the administrators be fired.
I still don’t know why some frat didn’t stir the pot by writing Hillary or Bernie so we could all watch the insanity that would ensue.
“The western world is under a demonic spell.”
How about the WHOLE world?
By not supporting Trump ... or whoever gets the nomination ... this idiot will help elect Hillary or Sanders who will destroy not the Republican party, but the entire country.
That said, banning chalk is stupid. Lefties are mentally deranged.
“Wrong. The republican party destroyed itself. It has taken almost 8 years to commit suicide.”
Closer to 16 years, if you also count Bush opening the southern floodgates.
