The young conservative stars of Turning Point USA’s Campus Clash speaking tour don’t actually engage in debate — they just cut to the winning.
There are other ways of trolling — like wearing a “Socialism Sucks” shirt mocked up to look like Bernie’s 2016 campaign logo, a shirt that reads Liberty Guns Beer Trump , or even a MAGA hat. But some members think those displays singled them out on campus — which they see as indicative of a greater censorship of ideas.
Ten feet away, a line of audience members waited for a chance to peruse tables laden with free stuff: stickers reading CAPITALISM CURES, I’M A VICTOR NOT A VICTIM, and COEXIST spelled out in gun paraphernalia, plus a glossy poster of Ronald Reagan on a horse. “I’m gonna take one of these back for my dad!” one student exclaimed.On the night

No one’s voice was raised, and no one was owned.

“I asked this professor why she went to the Women’s March, what’s that all about. I wanted to know!” Raynor said. “And she couldn’t give me an answer.”
