I’m confused. For over three years our president has been telling us that the greatest threat to democracy is right wing, MAGA, white supremacists. After closely watching the college demonstrations the past few weeks and hearing chants of “from the river to the sea,” “death to America,” “there is only one solution,” as well as watching the blatant antisemitism and hate directed at Jewish students, I haven’t been able to find even one red ball cap being worn among the protesters. Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate who the real threats to democracy are.
