The Real Victims of the Snowflake Revolution Are the Snowflakes Timothy Daughtry Posted: Nov 24, 2016

An optimist might be tempted to believe that leftists at America’s universities have discovered a secret weapon to defeat Islamic terrorism. After watching news reports of liberal students crying and having to be consoled by puppies and coloring books after losing the 2016 election, thousands of jihadists probably just laughed themselves to death. One can’t help but imagine the hysterical laughter during small-arms training at a terrorist camp when the instructor shows a CNN clip of the campus revolt and says, “I got your trigger warning right here.”
If the metrosexual college kids we’re seeing on news reports are representative of what the next generation has to offer, weapons of mass destruction will not be needed to bring down the Great Satan. A loud “boo” will probably send these snowflakes scampering for their safe spaces. And this from a nation that once produced the twenty-somethings who flew B-17 bombers through fields of flak and enemy fighters over Nazi Germany.

In explaining the Snowflake Revolution on campus, the news media squelched any hope that they learned a lesson from the country butt-whipping they just took from the voters. (In a country butt-whipping, as opposed to a regular whipping, a lecture accompanies the whipping, as in, “We’ve told you and told you to stop lying to us!”) But here they go again. This time, their narrative is that the protests on college campuses and in America’s city streets are caused, not by liberal intolerance of any ideas other than their own, but by President-elect Trump’s dangerous views. For example, in her “60 Minutes” interview with the president-elect, Lesley Stahl offered with a straight face the view that the demonstrators are simply “afraid” of Trump and the people who voted for him.

What we’re seeing in the post-election protests, they would have us believe, is frightened people standing up for their rights and those of the downtrodden. Following that line of thought, what the frightened leftists need is not to grow up and live in the real world but reassurance, consolation and – wait for it – policy concessions by the incoming administration!
