[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think Youngkin is super great, but he’s still a somewhat popular governor and [b]walk outs like this will make him more popular[/b] and have the opposite effect you think it does. Also Youngkin was expecting this and he doesn’t care that they walked out.

The campus shenanigans at VCU, UVA, etc only will help Trump at the polls in November (which depresses me). [/quote]

How? With whom? For what?[/quote]

PP here. Look, I don’t have a problem here with their walking out. BUT I do think a lot of people are sick of the theatrics of these protests on college campuses and the chaos that ensued at other campuses (UCLA, Columbia, Harvard, etc) and feel like all the attention is being given to a small but very loud of minority of people. And it turns people off. They may be glad things were broken up at VCU, UVA, etc instead of becoming the next viral story.

And those people aren’t just a handful. People please wake up!!!!  I don’t want a republican governor nor Trump as president. But people have their head in the sand if they think this stuff does anything positive and if they think super progressive democrats are the majority. [/quote]

Nobody is "sick" of it -- it doesn't affect anyone except people on campus. This idea that there's some widespread outrage over it is just wishful thinking. [/quote]

It affects everyone. These ridiculous protestors - "We Are All Hamas" "Globalize The Intifada"- are the reason people like Youngkin and Trump get elected. Most democrats are appalled by what progressives are doing these days. Healthcare, women's rights, the environment are all things that are getting thrown under the bus because of these morons.[/quote]
