An institution of higher learning called the police on a student who criticized the US President?
How long did it take us to get here?
Decades of very gradual democratic backsliding followed by a more rapid collapse
Then came a knock at Decker’s door from the Secret Service. After reviewing his words, they agreed he broke no laws.
didn’t even need the ‘house call’, now did it? just a fucking browser and some wifi. it was purely for intimidation.

Yeah, that’s how facism operates. If you make everyone afraid of being “disappeared” for speaking up, most wont even try. And if no one is speaking up, no one is coordinating resistance and the average person think there is no chance of rising up.
Talk about complying in advance.
Is criticizing the fuhrer a crime now?
No. They said so. It was just intimidation.
Fortunately, you dont have to answer your door when these pricks knock. Just ignore them until they go away.
George Mason has been a right wing school for awhile. They started with economics and found it to be a way to compete with DC schools (that are normal academic institutions) and UVA (one of the best schools in the world) and now it’s just a marketing thing.
Not saying anyone should shut it down. The quote “science advances one funeral at a time” is not always wrong. But usually, it advances by the hard, seemingly uninteresting work of hundreds of people.
I’ve been to George Mason and taken classes there. What makes it a right wing school? The closest thing I can think of was Edward Wegman teaching there and the dude was a professed liberal… he just didn’t agree with the math. Overall, I’d say my classes were left leaning. (Or maybe just sane leaning)

Some “professors” who are being paid despite not actually teaching there:
The trifecta of repulsion
People in these positions should be humble, sincere, righteous and, most importantly, unable to be bribed.
Interesting! I didn’t even know GMU had a law school
Open mouth insert foot.
Pathetic.

He hurt their feefees
This is SOP for Trump’s administration. He had the secret service question Eminem for the anti Trump song that he made last time.
Good thing it was the secret service instead of the cops, or that student might be dead right now.
