I seem to think they want one, seeing as how they go crying whenever someone insults Trump or attacks them or calls them racist. So many microaggressions, maybe we should add trigger warnings before our anti-Trump posts? I guess us Hillary supporters should check our privilege, huh?

Speaking of which, has anyone considered how the whole Safe Space thing at colleges & universities could become a huge slippery slope? I mean what if Conservative Christian students want a safe space where they won't be triggered by gays? What if White students want a safe space?

a piece of policy pushed by leftist that backlashes and nails the people it aims to help?  That would never happen! ....damn the sarcasm was so thick there it made it hard to type.

By and large, no, but the anti-SJW crowd definitely needs a safe space from SJWs.

Yes, when you are a minority overwhelmed by others who can't share your perspective, there is definitely a need for safe spaces to discuss the unique problems that that particular group is susceptible to encountering.

If a padded room counts as a safe space, then yes. I can comprehend how people could be tricked into supporting Trump if they never are confronted with the truth about him. I can comprehend Republicans reluctantly supporting him once he won the nomination. I can certainly understand how racists, xenophobes, and other unsavory types would willingly support one of their own. But our Trump supporters claim not to be part of any of those three possibilities. That seems to leave insanity as the only remaining option.

     The more authoritarian types have a bad habit of pushing policies without considering how they might be appropriated by their opponents. It's what happens when you grow to like telling other people what to do.

Not really, seeing as how "safe space" usually doesn't mean what the professionally outraged obsessed with right wing political correctness pundits think it does, or what it ends up being at stupid liberal arts colleges <1% of college students attend.

http://www.vox.com/2016/8/29/12684042/safe-spaces-college-university

In reality, all college campus liberalism boils down to is basically this:

-During the George W. Bush presidency: F[INKS] BUSH! END THE WAR!
-2009 to 2015: F[INKS] THE TEA PARTY, RIGHT WINGERS SUCK!
-afterwards: BERNIE SANDERS, F[INKS] YEAH! F[INKS] DONALD TRUMP!

Or better yet, they could just do the very easy task of ignoring them and pretending they don't exist. Which is a piece of cake for everyone who isn't a student at a stupid private liberal arts college because there is absolutely nowhere else where they exist.

The answer to that seems to revolve around the idea that safe spaces are meant to combat systemic inequalities and the difficulties associated with them, and that those groups are not systemically or historically marginalized, so they don't need space.

I think that argument has some serious problems, but it's what they say.

It's not just on Atlas Forum.  Donald Trump wants the entire country to be his personal safe space.  It can hardly be surprising when he attracts the support of a bunch of entitled, precious snowflakes!
