Would it not be funny if GOP Alt Right Trolls taught students today, and Parkland students

specifically, how to fight back against trolls? A baptism of fire that is now haunting the NRA. Maybe the baby boomers were hapless as other than fighting the government over the vietnam war they did not have actual battle experience. But anyone on the internet in the last two years has. Maybe that is why the Alt Right has been silenced of late? They are forging steel in liberals and nobody is more open to that than kids. I think it is true.

before the GOP could go full on conmen. Like the GG shut down the McCarthy and Cohn investigation into unamerican activities. Thanks for pointing out my lack of clarity.
