Welcome to the results of Leftists taking over the Academia. Coming soon to the whole country. And then - civil war, of course. As EVERY time.

Wait, so back in 1861 - the first and last time a civil war erupted in the US - it was due to Leftist taking over academia and then the whole country?

Interesting. Or maybe you are from Europe, where civil war has a long tradition.

But maybe you insist that it was "Leftists" back in 130 BCE in the Roman Empire.

The 8th century Chinese general An Lushan was a Leftist as well? Good to know.

The "Roundheads" in the English parliament back in 1642 were basically commies as well, whereas the royalists "Cavaliers" were the level-headed ones - I mean what's not to love about absolutism, "All hail the King!" and all that.

The Portuguese back in 1832 must have been Leftists as well; I just need to find out which of the royal brothers was the commie.

But yeah, sure. EVERY time with the god damned leftists!
