    College Republicans of America President Will Donahue in a statement invited Barron Trump to join their organization:

    “Barron Trump represents the future of the conservative movement, and we would be honored to have him join College Republicans of America,” Donahue said.

    “Strong leadership is built on resilience, courage, and the humility to rise above petty hostility — qualities that Barron has already demonstrated. We invite Barron to join us in shaping the future of our party,” he added."

      Conservatives have literally always been monarchists. The philosophy was founded on defending monarchy and aristocracy.

          True. The core is power over others through rigid hierarchies of societal power, with each tier smaller than those below it, with morality and human value derived from one’s tier. It’s antithetical to any kind of meritocracy.

    she said President Trump’s 18-year-old son was “sort of like an oddity on campus.”

    “He goes to class, he goes home,”

    That’s it? That’s the supposed horrible thing she said? I thought cancel culture was over?

      The quote I read has the professor saying they don’t think Barron belonged on the campus.

        Yeah, and she was just relaying that, seems like you should be able to talk about other people’s opinions.

        Anyway, I guess it’s just funny to see Republicans get cancelled by their own over nothing.
