“...some of those young people who are protesting on the streets and being comforted by their professors...”

Nope, that’s not what this is.

These protesters are professional activist PAID by George Soros to wreck havoc. These riots are being done with the specific approval of Obama and Clinton. They are co-conspirators in plotting this fake, phony protest.

This is what collectivism does to a society - it infantilizes them.

The Me Me Me, Free Stuff, selfie generation appears to be a little upset. I’ve never seen this much hatred out of the “young”. It wasn’t this bad in the 60s. Lots and lots of hate out there. Probably from all of those participation trophies and “good jobs” they received when they were really little.

If these students have student loans for the government (because Obama administration took them over) then they will get a real education if they’re able to pay attention that is.

"But there are millions of others who have been coddled all their lives, almost never taught to lose or be put in their place or take full responsibility for their actions."

This is a form of child neglect, as it doesn't prepare these little "Snow Flakes" to survive in this uncivilized world. Survival of the fittest is still being contested on this planet, and if a person becomes too "civilized" to do what's necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they simply won't survive.

They spent the day sprawled around the center, playing with Play-Doh and coloring in coloring books

The other day in Costco I saw a whole section of "adult" coloring books. Millennials aren't the only ones buying them. Whoever came up with that idea is making a mint.

I don't know, I detect a lot of microaggressions in this article. I need to leave you all for a day or two and retreat to my safe space under my desk and then I need therapy to recover.

“Probably from all of those participation trophies and “good jobs” they received when they were really little.”

I have posted this reality before. One of our younger relatives had the good fortune in little league to play for good managers and be with motivated players. They won the top award 3 years in a row, in a city with a lot of players and teams.

The league broke up the team and didn’t re hire the managers. Our young relative ended on a losing team that didn’t win a single game in 20+ games. He went from batting 400 to about 100.

However, the city’s liberals gave losers like him a participation trophy.

When he got home, his older sister with trophies in sports and academics for winning told him, “Really are you going to put your “I’m a loser trophy on the shelf with your winning trophies!”

In tears, he ask my wife what was wrong with the trophy. She said it was for losers, and he should give it away.

He took his name of the participation trophy and told his mother to sell it. She did, and donated the money to his favorite charity, the Salvation Army.

A few years later, he is finally realizing what his sister told him, participation trophies are for losers. He is devoting his energy and skill to be competitive in high school sports.

Play-Doh and coloring books, fine. But no Silly Putty? That’s kind of exclusionary if you ask me, could trigger something. Poor chilluns.

Very good observation! I also see it in other countries, where the first question is always, “What is the government going to do about it?” There is a sense of personal immaturity in the people. You want to say, “Grow up!”

Mr. Trump MUST, in my opinion, maintain a propaganda barrage based on the theme that WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, along with what that means. He has got to convince the sub-groups that the Democrats have made into infantile tribes that we have a common legacy that will be good for all of them.

I consider this propaganda effort to be far more important than making legislative gains, as important as they are. He has to, he must, drown out the loud voices of the violent left.

Either you're young to remember or getting on and having some memory issues.
It was bad - it was really bad for years ... weekdays, weekends, holidays, etc.
And with tens and tens of thousands protesting, not a couple of hundred.
