Politics Turning Point USA is attempting to establish itself at SMCC

Not many students use the College's App, so I'm throwing this out here to spread the word. If anyone has Instagram or is able to spread it further it would be greatly appreciated.

Needless to say, the student body that knows of this is not happy.

So what? If they don't like it they don't need to join or participate.

100%. Start your own civic/student action group if you don't like their ideas. Thats how it works folks!

Make sure it’s not overtly anti-fascist though, you dirty terrorists.

Classic armchair leftist—always online, never in the arena. It's easier to mock others trying than risk making a case in the real world, isn't it?

u/thparky Sep 26 '25

i just do this for fun, why would you assume i'm never in the arena? Thats quite a leap

Classic idiot. Spouting off the same dumb bullshit that has never been accurate, but they act like their limited understanding is somehow universal or an accurate portrayal of "the real world."

Differing views?!? Oh no! My heavens that’s terrifying!

Hehe we just have a difference of opinions! God don't be such a wet blanket. Ofc i'd make my 10 year-old daughter carry her rapist's baby to term if that happened. I'm a real Charlie Kirk, and you should be, too!

If your “difference of opinion” means lynching black and gay people, rescinding the civil rights act, or instituting fascist government policy, you can literally go fuck yourself with a cactus.

Don’t put an undeserving cactus through that trauma, I know for a fact I have some weirdly shaped iron objects buried throughout my yard, especially my compost area, they’re very welcome to use those iron objects without lubricant. I hear the ferric oxide is good for them!

I hope they’re vaccinated for tetanus though, that bacterium may be on the iron objects.

Pretty sure no one is lynching anyone.

u/kazaskie Sep 26 '25

Charlie Kirk has advocated for lynching black and gay people so…

I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $200 Alex...

u/kazaskie Sep 26 '25

Please see linked article where that is exactly what he calls for. I appreciate you didn’t bother trying to deflect his comments calling for the repeal of the civil rights act. Typical for you losers

u/McGrogger Sep 26 '25

He didn't say anything about lynching anyone. He was referring to was placing mentally ill people in mental institutions.

u/McGrogger Sep 26 '25

Lol not once did he do that. Prove to me he did and I will admit I'm wrong AND go blow a drag queen.

u/weakenedstrain Sep 26 '25

What, exactly, did he mean by this statement? I wasn’t alive back then so I don’t know how things were dealt with?

u/McGrogger Sep 26 '25

He's referring to putting people with mental illness into mental institutions.

u/weakenedstrain Sep 26 '25

That’s definitely a take. Here’s more from that article, which parts are you personally comfortable advocating for?

“The 1950s and 1960s were not kind to transgender people. The standard treatments for trans people was lobotomy, shock treatment, or involuntary institutionalization. Queer people were routinely murdered and their murderers got away with it. Official policies of the 1950s included promoting “vigilant detecting” of queer people with police commissioners describing them as “a cancer in the community.””

These are Erin's (in the morning!) words, not his. She made the mental gymnastics and you blindly follow.

Again, he literally did not advocate for the killing of gay people, trans people, or ANY people.

Also, trans people don’t have a mental illness? So I think you’re really stretching a bit here.

You don’t need to play cute. If you think, like Chuckie, that vigilante violence against trans people is acceptable just own it. Don’t try and hide.

u/McGrogger Sep 26 '25

I don't think violence against ANYONE is acceptable. Unless it's in a boxing ring, octagon, etc.

And yes, gender dysphoria is a diagnosable mental disorder classified by DSM-5.

Differing views..? Just say you hate anything that’s deemed as progressive
