I have a hard time believing that they really think that "Trump" is (by itself) a scary word. But outrage is a classic political tool, including feigned outrage. If you oppose something, then it stands to reason that the more strident the opposition the better. But only if you don't know how rhetoric works. So you know what... I agree with these people and I think it's good that they are politically engaged. If they are oversensitive, then so what, as TNG said, life's gonna kick their ass and then they'll get back up again. If they are bad at protest, then that's something they can work on. In any case, I feel like student politics is always going to be a bit messy. And yeah, I'm channelling the regret I feel at having never mustered the chutzpah to do this stuff when I was 18.
