“If you voted for Trump, you better be f***ing scared”: Conservative students “VIOLENTLY THREATENED” at Minnesota college

43

[the_ad id=”87125″]

Ever since Trump won the presidency, the left has been demonstrating the truth of what I have said about it for years: that it is a violent, authoritarian, thuggish movement that brooks no dissent. Conservative students not just on this campus but on campuses all over the country are an increasingly despised and threatened minority. But nothing is done on their behalf, because administrators and professors are just as far-left as the students.

“Conservative students say they have been ‘violently threatened’ at Lutheran college,” College Fix,

Story continues below advertisement

Four in five students at St. Olaf College, a Lutheran liberal arts school, voted for the Clinton/Kaine ticket in 2016, while Trump/Pence drew 1 in 10 and Johnson/Weld 1 in 20.

But it’s not only that feeling of marginalization that has led conservative students to stay in the closet at the Minnesota school known for its music program, according to student newspaper Manitou Messenger:

Of the 12 students interviewed by the Manitou Messenger, several have been violently threatened because of their political beliefs, and almost all of them feel as though they can’t speak up about politics on campus – in class, online or with their friends. …

On the night of the election, a student in the Pause threatened to beat up [College Republicans President Emily] Schaller, calling her a “f***ing moron.” Over the next couple of days, she overheard multiple students threaten to hurt the next conservative or Republican they saw. Vice President of St. Olaf College Republicans Kathryn Hinderaker ’19 had a similar experience.

“I think one of the hardest things was, the second day, I went into Buntrock and someone yelled from the bottom, ‘if you voted for Trump, you better be f***ing scared.’ Everyone clapped and applauded,” Hinderaker said. “Obviously, it didn’t feel super safe.”

Like some liberal students who felt unsafe after the election, a St. Olaf conservative student said she “went home for awhile” because of the animus toward conservatives in her classes. She said online harassment led her to transfer to another school after the fall semester.

And there’s this:

On Feb. 18, a student posted an unsolicited photo of a group of students that supposedly included Trump supporters and encouraged fellow students to “remember their faces.”

It’s lonely being conservative at St. Olaf, even though its College Republicans chapter didn’t endorse Donald Trump and refused to phone bank for him in the general election:

In response to St. Olaf’s predominantly liberal campus, many conservative students choose to stay under the radar for fear of being cast out and misunderstood by their peers.

“A lot of people said the characteristics of the candidates were the characteristics of the voters,” Dawson Kremlacek ’20 said. “Conservatives didn’t want those labels. They didn’t want to be viewed differently.”

As a result, students will self-censor during class, even in discussion-based courses.

“I’m fine being political with a one-on-one discussion,” [freshman Josh] Larson said, “but when everyone else is liberal in the class … I keep my head down.”

One political science student said her professor “started every class with basically just ridiculing Trump for about 20 minutes,” and she now plans to transfer to another school next year. Another student said his professor’s anti-Trump animus makes him keep quiet so she won’t “possibly bring down my grade.”…

The leftzo’s are pushing their luck, for many years they could bully and dominate every level of society, concentrating in schools. They will find that they are running out of other people’s money to finance their ignorance, the future of the left, is impoverished angry stupidity as they become irrelevant. Like islam, the violence eventually turns on the violent.

As an alum of St. Olaf I am outraged that this college allows and or prevents/tolerates what is supposed to be a college that extolls the free exchange of ideas without concerns of persecution. If these students who think the only way to respond is thru violence, I would suggest that they move to a different country. ( I think there are a lot of people who would love to pay for one way tickets to Iraq).
I also think that conservative donors stop giving until the college grows up. The old pocket book speaks loudly.

Hillary Clinton was a LIAR AND A CHEAT SO I SAY.. GET OVER IT.

I have two cousins who went to St. Olaf. They ended up becoming geeky liberals. St. Olaf has had a reputation for decades for being liberal. Their older brother went to the University of Minnesota (which is getting bad now, but wasn’t, thirty years ago). He turned out OK, even for being an attorney.

This is where you get a conceal carry and arm yourselves every day, everywhere you go. Colleges are pathetic babysitters for the pathetic little Snowflakes that have no real productivity in life except to be a burden on society. Stay alert and don’t back down. I learned that when I grew up in the 60s and 70s with the violent POS running around inflicting their hate on others. Stand your ground and don’t be a coward. These liberals are the cowards because they have to be in a group or a gang of their kind to even confront anyone. They can’t do one on one.

Why do these parents even put these kids in these liberal colleges? There is no real future in their lives when they are indoctrinated into what we see on the streets being thugs, animals, rioters, assaulting innocent people.

The article paints the students as victims. They made themselves victims by allowing the abuse of their sovereign opinions to be oppressed. I have no sympathy for cowards whom are too fearful to defend their own liberty. Worse than the crime of oppression anothers voice is the crime of silencing your own voice first.

If you’ve bothered to stay abreast of the religious issues regarding certain sects and segments of Christian institutions, you’d know that the Lutherans are all but lost. They refuse to reject homosexuality, refuse to support law and order, promote sanctuary cities, have lost control of their own congregations, and have had massive loss of supporters as otherwise non christians seek to call the Lutheran institutions their new homes.

Take no sympathy for conservatives who chose to go there. They chose to be oppressed.

I’m disabled, so not gonna be much help in hand to hand anymore. (Though there was a day I could hold my own in that department) For those who are elderly, or like me, disabled, use what you have! Your arms still work, your brain still works…so put the two together and be a part of standing up for our rights and freedoms! Tasers work, so to does ‘spray’ (hair spray is legal to buy and burns like the dickens in the eyes of an enemy), bug or some other type that is easily bought off of store shelves, get a stun gun, get a regular gun and permit to carry it, anything that you can do with the physical abilities one does have is one more person on the line that is useful to the cause! We need anyone who can, to stand up, wear their own white hat and protect those who need it!

I actually attend this college, St. Olaf, and can definitely attest to the terrible culture for conservatives there is on this campus and I imagine U.S. campuses at large. Not only are students hostile to conservatives, but the worst comes from the professors. After the election my professors cancelled classes, tests, and papers. Instead of classes some of us (my class included) would have class talks about how the election made us feel, a sort of therapy. My professor cried most of the time and called anyone who voted Trump rascist, as he continued his rant. St. Olaf college is a college of one idea, nothing more.

Stand strong William. I am so sorry to hear that you have to tolerate the intolerant left on a college campus. *smh. Try to pay it no mind until it is in your face and you ‘have to deal’ with it. Don’t worry to much about taking one of these nut cases on…what is that saying, the liberal progs have alligator mouths and hummingbird bums. Its amazing how their jaws seem to be made of glass… fall right down and just lay there and bleed for ya. *smh. Pitiful really.

*As for professors? They can scream their opinion till they are blue in the face…but what they can’t do is call your names like racist without you filing a complaint against said professor!! You pay good hard earned money to gain an education, not be harassed by staff for your political opinions and ideals. SCOTUS settled this long ago when the hippies went nuts in the 70’s. If your school takes any federal funds at all , like for title 9, then it must abide all federal mandates including political prosecutions which is what you are enduring now. You do not have to take that type of abuse, nor do you have to tolerate it without retribution.

Who are the fascists now? The liberal mafia has taken almost complete control of the public education system.

A Clinton campaign email released as part of the WikiLeaks data dump talks about the need to maintain political power by producing “an UNAWARE AND COMPLIANT citizenry”.
The debasement of, traditional and classical knowledge, individualism and independent thinking is necessary if a government is to control its citizens and convince them to accept an ideology that a legitimate education or access to a unbiased press would cause them to reject. Our public schools no longer teach critical thinking; they have replaced it with massive and continuous liberal indoctrination that denies reality and logic. This has been occurring ever since the left gained almost total control of public education. A large portion on the mainstream media has joined with them. They are no longer journalists but overt indoctrinators.
What the left has done to education is demonstrated below:
Snow is black quote
–Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, 1951 (At various points in his life he considered himself a liberal, and a socialist)
…”I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology…. Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called ‘education.’ Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part…. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.”
“…The subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship…. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black (a metaphor). Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray.”
“…Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. WHEN THE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN PERFECTED, EVERY GOVERNMENT THAT HAS BEEN IN CHARGE OF EDUCATION FOR A GENERATION WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL ITS SUBJECTS SECURELY WITHOUT THE NEEDS OF ARMIES OR POLICEMEN” (MY CAPS)
The above is just an example of how this could be used in education. How many other areas are being influenced by what can be labeled the “deep state” in domestic policy, foreign policy, the economy, and individual rights?
Now think a little and see if you can name areas where it is not snow but where other realities are being manipulated by government, the left and powerful special interest groups. (Common Core, anti-gun indoctrination, the promotion of Socialism, the promotion of multiculturalism, the promotion of social justice, agenda 21, manmade global warming, attacks on Christianity, cyber manipulation, etc.) Why are we allowing it to be done?
Consider this statement by Vladimir Lenin.
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”
This debasement must be fought against at every turn no matter what section of our society in which it rears its ugly head.

The left progressive liberals, on the most part, are felons, who believe if they can secure their agenda by way of tyranny, through acts of violence, in lieu of compromise, they believe conservatives will succumb to their threat of violence and propaganda (Fake News).—That was Hitler’s strategy against the Jews—and like the Nazi’s, the liberals are a defeated party that have fallen to their lowest level of authority in history, and what are they doing—fighting tooth and nail against the same voters that sent them to the bottomless pit of doom and gloom. Their lies and deceptions have finally overtaken them, and will never have the support of working Americans.

Obviously they are not sticking very close to their Christian roots as a college. I’m not only offended for those conservative students who are being threatened but that they allow such language on that campus. I used to admire St. Olaf because of their fine music program, especially their choirs. But this nonsense puts a taint on those excellent aspects of the college. What a shame.

It’s so easy when one believes they are the ‘majority’, even when in fact they are merely a noisy demanding minority. When the majority is silenced due to political beliefs as this article details, it is hard to understand how many will hide in the face of verbal harassment and threats. We must teach our older children right along side our younger children to stand up for yourself even if it means harassment or, going to cuffs with those who violently oppose you. I could say the same of the conservatives who did vote for DjT, but would not outwardly state they supported him for fear of job loss, or loosing friends/family or even to avoid harassment from those around them in day to day life. Has the right become a wussy party? I’d hate to think that statement true. Though more and more stories are proving it out to be more true then I would want it to be.

It is time the ‘right’ of politics begin standing up for one another as well as ourselves. Wear your own white hat regardless the outcome. Better to be bruised and battered then beaten!! The violent hate filled liberal progs who only hunt in their protected beta male and lesbian filled groups and take coward surprise attacks as their means of trying to control the narrative. *smh Time for all of us who voted for DjT to stand up. Time to offer our services to marches and other ‘event’s’ to keep those safe who choose to show their support for our newly elected president. When confronted with real men and woman who will fight for their rights, the left usually goes to a wet washcloth standard, back to their general looser persona in whining, crying and baying over not getting their way.

For liberals, “tolerance” is a one way street. that only benefits them. Like many mainstream Protestant churches; they don’t read the Bible. It’s all “do good” and “feel good” from the pulpit. Blacks can preach politics from the pulpit, but whites can’t! They’ll lose their 501(c)3 status. Remember the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright when Obama was pretending to be a Christian before the election? Most of his sermons were about politics.
