Meanwhile, Trump signs executive order on campus free speech. Sounds great right? It seems they don't like when the left issues the same death threats that the Trump cult has been doing. And, since the House would kill this as a law, it's Executive Order time. "Leave those Nazi students alone!"
However, Trump's new executive order is happening against the backdrop of conservative voices highlighting instances of alleged violence directed toward student activists in viral videos on social media.
There's more behind this EO that the common sense it would seem to be.
Sarah Ruger, the director of the toleration and free expression division of the Charles Koch Institute, a Libertarian-leaning policy group, said the group is "concerned that wrongly framing censorship as an ideological issue works against efforts to foster open intellectual environments on campus."
"For continued progress to be possible, we must have a vanguard to defend speech that's above partisanship," she said.

Without a doubt the Far Left will always be as dangerous as the Far Right, holding the middle ground which made America as great a nation as it is (and has been) is a difficult task to say the least.

There are some very smart people saying that Capitalism can't survive without, not only Socialism, but Universal Basic Income as well.
