At Columbia University, Trump's crackdown chills a fervent campus

Not gonna see campus rebellions like 1968 this time round. By targeting the immigrants and foreign students, Trump has successfully put the fear of deportation and imprisonment in the people protesting. This has divided the community into a them and us situation, demonizing the foreigners. During Vietnam, protesters might get arrested, but they weren't being deported to jails in El Salvador. The risks this time around are substantially larger.

I suspect with Peaceful Protest now off the table, we'll see a rise in bombings and violent actions to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinians. This in turn will result in even more repression. Civil War seems inevitable.
