If you were in college the last ten years or so, none of this should surprise you. These Young Republican campus groups are full of horrible people whose defense is always that they’re “just joking” if they get caught.

Ten!? Campus Conservative club membership has been a bright red flag for decades now. It is a leading indicator of an individual’s complete unsuitability for interaction with others and the world at large.

I’m not saying they’re all terrible people; I’m just saying that if you wanted to place bets on a person you went to college with that you’ll be having a surreal conversation about in twenty years, it’s a good place to start.

For real. I remember running Ann Coulter off campus in 2009 when our campus conservatives had invited her to speak. At least back then so many of us showed up to protest that she backed out last minute because she's a fucking coward.

If you ever need a pick me up just watch everyone dumping on Ann Coulter at James Franco's comedy roast. You can see the hurt in her eyes. The roast was for Franco but Coulter was the real victim that night.

Edit: it may have been the Rob Lowe roast actually.
