Noemie Emery: Snowflakes for Trump

For a great many years, the silliest people in perhaps the whole country were the snowflakes on campus. They so loved peace and justice that they were driven to riot against those who opposed them. And they were so fragile and delicate that they had to be saved from the stress of democratic contention. How? Using actual censorship and “safe spaces.”

But their pride of place lasted only until last week, when the college snowflakes were unseated by perhaps their least likely successors: the intense and most fervid of President Trump’s supporters. They revel no end in his rants against others, but collapse in mass faints and cold sweats and intense fits of anguish at any signs of a critique against Trump.
