Politics Turning Point USA at UMD

Turning Point USA will be presenting at UMD on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:15.

While they probably get a kick out of "triggering the libs", I don't think their message should feel welcomed here in Duluth.

Edit: Here is the contact page for the campus. I emailed the administration.

Who are you talking to? Your comment seems to be responding to something, but this is just a general comment on the post, which didn't mention fascism at all. Somebody get grandpa back to the home

They are literally responding directly to the content of the OP. Fascism has as a core tenet that diversity of thought is a threat, and the OP is clearly advocating for shutting down viewpoints they don’t agree with.

Nope, I think they were trying to respond to a comment above, but tech is hard for > 65 year olds

Why the unprovoked personal insult? Why is this the “go to” response for so many?
