The title of this thread sounds like a threat more than a taunt. Like every leftist woman, OP talks a good game but does nothing.

I'm sure showing up, like women, are a threat to Republicans. Fact-checking--also a big threat to them.

You can hurt Republicans in local elections. You can go to their town halls. You can boycott their businesses. You can help finance their Democratic opponents. You can berate the asshole Republican down the block from you. You can dump your Republican supporting investments. Tell your broker what to do.

And you can cry harder.

Here's the real disease:

Study finds nearly 90 percent of students fake progressive views to appease liberal professors​

College students at Northwestern and the University of Michigan increasingly hide their conservative beliefs, with 88 percent admitting to faking progressive views to succeed academically or socially.​

Researchers warn that this climate of ideological conformity suppresses authentic expression and encourages performative morality among both students and professors.​

A new study has concluded that college students are increasingly faking conformity to liberal opinions in order to academically succeed. The study, published on Aug. 12, was spearheaded by Northwestern University researchers Forest Romm and Kevin Waldman.

Between 2023 and 2025, the researchers conducted 1,452 confidential interviews with undergraduate students at both Northwestern University and the University of Michigan to examine how ideological pressure influences students’ beliefs.

They found that 88 percent of students admitted to pretending to harbor more progressive views than they genuinely endorse with the aim of succeeding academically or socially.

“We do not fault students for perpetuating a climate that is hostile to intellectual integrity,” Romm and Waldman wrote about the results. “We fault the faculty, administrators, and institutional leaders who built a system that rewards moral theater while punishing inquiry.”

The real disease is centered on the left's desire to produce ideological conformity on the college campuses. They've created a generation of brittle activists, trained to mistake feelings for facts, outrage for argument, and censorship for debate, the perfect foot soldiers for a soft tyranny and a dim future.

Sounds like a fake study to appease MAGA readers.

Sounds like a fake study to appease MAGA readers.

Yes, because everything negative to the left is always fake.

Your projection is palpable.

And here I was being sarcastic.

Talk all you want. I hope the wall talks back. Meanwhile, we will be running the country.
