Why are all the wacko protesters so heavily comprise young women? The linked article focuses on the pro-Palestinian protests and suggests that this is the opportunity that many women have to protest the hijab. But you see many young women protest elsewhere. For all kinds of things: BLM, gay "pride", transgender rights, climate change, etc. Hmmm. Question asked and answered.

Bummer to be a Democrat now, isn't it? Your betters are out picking the next candidate for you. You just need to cast your vote, not that it means anything these days. But they want to "save democracy" right? Just as one emperor without clothes is gone, another takes his place, this time, an empress. This isn't the United States as originally conceived anymore. They're even going to clap for you.
