This is what conservatives don't understand. Small - but fanatical and militant - minorities drive history in a certain direction. It doesn't matter if you win an election. You have to be relentless in every day life. The whole "get the government off my back" whining is impotent and suicidal. You have to be even more radical and revolutionary than the left is.

Exactly. It’s such a cope when conservative types think the modern left is just some fringe group of lunatics. They might be a small minority but it doesn’t matter, they have power, or at least the people backing them do.

Yes but you can't deny the Cambridge administration would be more willing to give into demands like this vs if 200 students demanded something conservative

If conservatives had even half the tenacity that leftists have we wouldn't be in this situation.
