Progressive Campus Activists Clog Lefty Organizations

It was nearly a quarter of a century ago that someone first told me, “Identity politics will eat itself.” The autophagy is ongoing, it’s delightful, and it’s hilarious.

Conservatives warned that the crybully virus that overtook the campus mindset a decade or so ago would seep into the general population, and we were laughed at. It’s just crazy college kids, who cares about their microaggression jibber-jabber? Now, those kids are pouring out of campus by the millions, and the most demanding, annoying, and hypersensitive among them go straight to work . . . for lefty activist groups. I’m glad they’ve found a suitable home.
