(RINF<\/a>) – Manipulated anti-Trump street protests continue, recruited participants paid to rally against his triumph.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The vast majority likely have little or no knowledge of Hillary\u2019s deplorable public record, her criminality at least since the 1990s, enough to imprison ordinary people longterm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blind to reality, they\u2019re mourning her defeat instead of cheering it – a testimony to today\u2019s ignorant, out-of-touch populace, most people mindless of duopoly governance, policies of both wings of America\u2019s one-party state grievously harming their rights, welfare and futures.<\/span><\/p>\n

On November 14, USA Today<\/span><\/a> ran a surreal story headlined \u201c \u2018Tolerant\u2019 educators exile Trump voters from campus,\u201d saying Hillary\u2019s loss shocked many, \u201cmultiplied in academe, where few people seem to know any Trump supporters – or, at least any\u2026who\u2019ll admit to it.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

The \u201cshock\u2026turn(ed) campuses into kindergarten(s).\u201d University of Michigan Law School announced \u201cpost-election self care (with) food and play,\u201d including \u201ccoloring sheets, play dough, positive card-making, Legos and bubbles with your fellow law students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanford University offered psychological counseling for students experiencing \u201cuncertainty, anger, anxiety, and\/or fear. The University of Pennsylvania offered safe space with puppies and coloring books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cornell students held a cry-in. Yale had a group scream. Therapy dogs were available on other campuses. Some professors postponed or cancelled exams and when term papers were due.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not covered by USA Today, three Harvard University professors held a panel discussion, attracting a large turnout, titled Dark and Stormy: Reflections on the Election\u201d – omitting from their presentations what\u2019s most important to explain, what I stress repeatedly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Democracy in America is pure fantasy. Voters have no say whatever. Elections are farcical when held. Deep state power brokers decide how the nation is run and by whom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Astonishingly surprising most pundits and media scoundrels, they chose Trump, rigged things so he\u2019d win, wrote off Hillary as damaged goods, and viola. Love or hate him, he\u2019ll succeed Obama when inaugurated in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are college students today so uninformed, naive, childish and emotionally unstable, they can\u2019t handle the triumph of one wing of duopoly governance over the other?<\/span><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t likely know how America\u2019s system works because political science and government professors don\u2019t explain it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Treating war goddess, racketeer, perjurer Hillary\u2019s loss like a 9\/11 tragedy shows the profound ignorance of too many of today\u2019s college youths.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jefferson once said \u201c(i)f a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
