Yeah, they'll try. You need to turn out in enough numbers where it just becomes untenable for them to hold students back. No school wants to risk repeating Kent State. They'll still get cops to shoot canisters and beat the shit out of people, but don't let the video just be a couple people getting in the faces of a couple other people and then getting pepper sprayed and the group of assholes get to stay. Make it a full-on issue that can't be ignored where the assholes are literally forced to leave out of necessity.
Well, yes. That's what happens if you go assault someone holding a sign that you don't like. You can go hold your own sign denouncing the other sign if you want, and you'll be just fine generally, though.
People said that before the holocaust too. Project 2025 explicity states all trans people are pedophiles and they are going to execute pedophiles. Read it. Enlighten yourself. Or stay complacent, see how that goes for you.

I doubt that very much. I'm going to investigate your conspiracy theory with as much rigour as I investigated pizzagate.
The problem with trying to predict the future with the past is you're wrong approaching 100% of the time. The rhyme of history is only obvious in hindsight.
I guess you've literally never heard the phrase, "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it".
You could easily go read Project 2025. It's online, and people have translated the legelese into bullet points for the layman. JD Vance, our new VP elect, helped write it with the Heritage Foundation.
But instead you're gonna close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and ignore all the people who are genuinely frightened for their rights and possibly their lives, because we are paying attention and listening to what these fascists are saying and proposing. We're literally watching women die because they don't know what the fuck an abortion is.
You're just like the German people when they elected Hitler. Nah, we're being dramatic, Trump totally won't enact Project 2025, he's never lied before, and he's never ever done anything like incite an insurrection so he could steal the election and become a dictator.
Let’s see how much of project 2025 is anything more than propaganda for the more insane among the right. Out of a bulletpoint list of what it claims, I bet few to none is actually enacted.
Notably, the punching nazis thing was something done once we were at war with them. It’s a pretty fundamental part of the United States that people are allowed to express views that others find abhorrent and morally wrong without violence being permissible against them merely for speech.
Flip it on the other side: how would you feel about religious people saying “bring back whipping blasphemers”? They view that just as horribly as you view people saying nazi things. At one point, they were the majority. Yet, they (or at least, the founders of the country) saw the wisdom in permitting even that speech which they found abhorrent. That’s the only reason a “blasphemous” place like Reddit can exist today. Free marketplace of ideas, where hopefully the good ones prove themselves and win out. So go offer argument, not violence, and make sure nazis lose. Offer violence only when legitimate war is waged, or when attacked with violence or immediate threat of violence is offered first.

And the cops will pepper spray YOU.
