His voters hate having to live in a civilization and would force us all to rut like hogs in the mud instead. Why do I have to tolerate these parasites?

This is about much more than policy - this is Maoist-style class warfare. They are truly trying to destroy America’s intellectual class to make our country a more pliable idiocracy. My take: open.substack.com/pub/kindler/...

The underlying irony is political vile and ugly. Trump wants freeze all foreign students seeking a US education, he pardoned the most criminal of the Jan 6 mob members who attacked the US Capitol. This is a clear case of Trump's deranged hostility to theorems of civil society.

And the right tried to tell us wearing a mask during Covid was against our freedom. Now they want everyone to wear a mask and not to talk anymore so who’s taking away our freedoms now!

Plus all of the “ICE agents” are now wearing jeans, T shirts, and masks to hide the fact that they are using contractors and pardoned criminals.

Not a trump authorized activity. It's up to the social platforms. We have an amendment in the Constitution called free speech, and we also have free market economy. Trump and Rubio are the real threats. As is Pete Hegseth with his classified issues!

So in other words, students exercising free speech under our constitution need not apply? Am I reading this right? They want only students with a robotic “point of view” to come in with blind loyalty and no thoughts of their own?

Unironically, yes. Page 1551 onwards of this article explains why, despite other potential issues this might face with congressional statutes, this wouldn't violate the First Amendment. The government can constitutionally stop people from entering the country because it doesn't like their opinions.
