"For this movie to make any sense at all, one has to believe the United States, today, right now, is a fascist dictatorship, wrote David Marcus at Fox News, under a headline that dubbed the film an "ill-timed apologia for left-wing violence." He continued, "That is not only a dangerous fallacy but, as we have found out recently, a deadly one ... The whole movie made me a little angry, but then I remembered that the Trump administration is cracking down on Antifa - today's very real domestic terrorists - and maybe this will be a fun movie for them to watch once they are all in jail."

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
