Hillsdale College in MI should be looked at as a preferred place of actual education. They remain unaffiliated with gov. grants therefore unencumbered by that negative influence or btr. stated, rotting effluence.
It sounds like your friends are doing exactly what the Red Eye Radio guys talk about: finding out that their "enemy" isn't the GOP, but reality. We need more leftists to run headlong into enough reality to shake them out of their delusions.
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. Ronald Reagan
And in recent years it is even worse since, and as you point out, they willfully reject information and evidence that does not fit their worldview and approved narratives. Stinks to be them.
My uneducated theory is that the reason communists and Moslems cleave to each other is because both (A) are political cults, (B) maintain control through harshness and deadly force, and (C) allow elite leadership to do anything that in the adherents' views furthers the cult.
You may remember Illych Carlos Ramirez, commonly known as Carlos The Jackal. His parents were Venezuelan communists and he was later educated in Moscow and then trained by Palestinian terrorists in Lebanon.
He became enamored with the depth of beliefs of the Moslem terrorists that he trained with and those Moslems he came into contact with at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. He was also aware of Moslem beliefs that any act in furtherance of the "cause" among the Moslems was the way Communists agitators and agents should model their acts..... full dedication to act immorally and without remorse. It is he, IMHO, who became the catalyst that brought the Moslems and Communists together as co-actors and parallel travellers.
Prior to his ruthless arrival on the scene, Soviets were distanced from Moslems. They had some Soviet republics that were full of Moslems and had a way of co-opting them while yet not trusting the Moslems. This was ideological and based upon Marx' and Lenin's well-stated distrust of any religion outside of communism.
Today's liberals (communist-lite) recognize The Jackal's inviting a detente between communists and Moslems. He focused communists to perceive their ability to use Moslems for their own purposes. The Jews who have always been the intellectual leadership of liberal/communist movements are now suffering from being the grease that is needed to keep the communist bandwagon rolling. (Here in US we use the colloquialism of "thrown under the bus" to equate to the grease that keeps the wagon rolling.)
Jews, being so smart, outfoxed themselves by not realizing how the liberals/communists only used them to give the Jews the beliefs that they had political power and control and could count on the communists to help them keep down the growth/political power of Christianity.
I agree with ThurmanLady since her statement applies to all Jews as a group: "It sounds like your friends are ..... finding out that their "enemy" isn't the GOP, but reality."
To the left - facts do not matter, research is a waste of time and resource, all that matters is their opinion, and heaven help you if you disagree with it.

“The NYT's take on the protests at Columbia are "peaceful" and just about "dancing and pizza" are laughable.”
Sounds like they’re just up to their old tricks. Didn’t they portray the Soviets in a favorable light as they starved their own people.

We all cross the Rubicon at some point. Your CT friends have Michael.
Another "Spot On" read. Willful ignorance, in varying degrees, is a big problem. Most who should read this won't take the time.
Thank you for providing lots of "reasoning" to pass along.

Do you want me to post the steps of Muslim takeover notes again?
You friends in Connecticut could also try Brandeis https://www.brandeis.edu/president/letters/2024-4-22-extending-transfer-application-deadline.html
Cute how the audio of this stack completely skipped over this paragraph in the article :
"The only solution is global revolution!" has an entirely different meaning for them today. They understand it isn't just a chant, it is a threat.
Good thing I was following along reading..
