TPUSA Chapter at Colorado College Struggles to Grow Amid Retaliation Fears
“An officer has gotten spit at when we table, and we have had people be harassed”
This is one of the reasons that leftists harass conservative groups like TPUSA. It’s a warning to others.

Colorado college TPUSA chapter enrollment stagnant amid fears of retaliation against conservatives
A conservative student leader at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, says students face a “big fear” of joining the campus Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter because conservatives remain a small minority on campus.
“In general, a lot of students are afraid of being ostracized by their peers or … not being [accepted] — it’s a very minority group,” TPUSA Chapter President Rachel Cook told Fox News Digital.
“Being a conservative on campus or even having conservative-leaning beliefs is not a popular idea here. We have seen a lot of disrespect and not a lot of people who are open to having civil discussion and discourse,” Cook added.
Cook took over leadership of the TPUSA chapter to promote ideological diversity on campus, arguing that Fort Lewis College needs more balanced dialogue representing different political viewpoints.
“An officer has gotten spit at when we table, and we have had people be harassed,” Cook said. “We work a lot with pro-life community members who come to campus and do their advocacy whenever we’re not able to stand with them. Even in these past couple of weeks, people have come up to them, ripped their signs and attempted to hit them. A lot of people choose not to press charges.”
Cook noted that enrollment in the Fort Lewis College chapter has remained flat as students fear social and academic retaliation.

This is of course is the goal of the harrasment to make students afraid to identify as being consevative or holding beliefs in line w/ TPUSA. If they could channel that energy and make it like they are the cool outsiders, the ones resisting “the man,” and being unique and authentic ; maybe that would resonante more? Students do love to be rebellious; and one of the only way to rebel these days is to be consevative and/or religious isntead of a cookie-cutter non-binary, neurodiverse, acronym heavy, free palestine, DSA, turtle island, braindead drone.
The inverted fortress gambit: where stifling intellectual conformity gets sold as free thinking, by talking up the campus as this island of liberated smart people in a sea of anti-intellectualism and oppression. The real free thinkers are painted as hostile outsiders trying to break in.
Perhaps they should sew yellow crosses onto their clothes.
