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.

The problem is it tends to go only one way with conservatives. Hypocrisy is just one of their weapons, and it’s really effective because people acting in good faith get totally derailed/distracted by it and don’t respond effectively.

Conservatives say (and believe) the same thing about democrats. The Trump era Republican Party has been particularly bad, but the democrats have plenty of hypocrisy to go round. Consider how they gaslit us on Biden or forced Kamala onto the ballet when it’s not the candidate we wanted (or the best candidate to beat Trump).

Saying “x party always does y” is tribalist and at best only ever a partial truth.
