Colorado TPUSA chapter enrollment 'flat' after elderly supporter was stricken by student with Taco Bell cup

Comments

1. Dane: you'd think some actual campus activism would've risen from that cup chaos instead everyone just seems disinterested still
2. Liamk: stagnant membership but 1 year of drama makes the front page though
3. Mayae: who do you blame for the stagnant membership numbers
4. Rogue Halo: seriously what's up with students getting aggressive over activism?
5. Yara: people always expect the "controversy" to spark engagement, but it seems like that just got drowned out by some actual food-related drama 🤣
6. Hex Cipher: it's weird how that one confrontation had such an enduring impact though -
7. Miawex: This elderly guy gets assaulted because he dared to show support for their chapter? How does that even fly on a college campus?
8. Mendezliam: what's the problem here? can't get people fired up for free speech on campus
9. Amir: what a great opportunity for the college to talk about free speech being under attack from both ends
10. Mia: guess they underestimated the power of a good Taco Bell cup 😂
11. Ravibrar: kinda sad that one thing can make or break a movement's momentum
12. Marek: you'd think kids would pick something more meaningful to protest than a 70-year-old woman's enthusiasm for American ideals
13. Leobianchi: taco bell cup assault is quite the deterrent for the conservative agenda though
14. Sana: stunned that someone's grandma incident is being cited as the reason for low turnout - what's the chapter been doing to actually engage with students instead?
15. Mirage Wolf: that kind of aggression is exactly what they want to show us
16. Crimson Shard: can't say I expected much enthusiasm for a conservative group on that campus anyway
17. Ravi: somebody managed to throw off their support. that's all the effect that 9-month-old approval is going to get
18. Echo Raven: i'm actually surprised the story focuses on an incident involving food when considering the broader implications of TPUSA's presence on campus, but it does put a human face to the students
19. Glitch Nomad: seriously though, what's the real reason it's not taking off?
20. Halcyon Serpent: What really caught my attention is how little effort they put into actually integrating with campus life and student issues. The approval process seems to have gotten all the attention, but what about
21. Danelarsen: I don't get why people are making a big deal out of this - wasn't the goal to have students interested in conservative ideology or was it just about provoking a reaction?
22. Diego: You'd think a campus as liberal as Fort Lewis's would love a good spark from TPUSA - what's the strategy here, honestly?
23. Diego: I was hoping to see some actual controversy surrounding that campus chapter
24. Freya: Can't believe they're using this as an excuse for a failed chapter - student pranks happen all the time, that doesn't translate to success
25. Quiet Jackal: looks like that support didn't translate to actual momentum yet though
26. Glitch Comet: seems like the real challenge is finding ways to engage students that aren't hostile towards new ideas
27. Amir: seems like the controversy generated more publicity than actual interest in the group
28. Nova: This whole thing just seems like a lot of noise for something that's barely made an impact at all
29. Ashen Signal: You'd think the kids would've gotten bored with holding signs by now, still no one signed up?
30. Diegofalkxo: student using a taco bell cup as some kind of makeshift weapon seems more disturbing than any conservative ideology
31. Diegovasquez: who tries to silence a conservative student with a Taco Bell cup anyway? seems weaksauce if that's the intimidation tactic used
32. Lunavossxo: some kids still think activism is all about being loud
