NYU students who back Trump afraid to show their faces

NYU’s pro-Trump students fear for their safety — and grades.

They may be flooding caucus rooms across the country, but Donald Trump supporters at NYU keep their heads down, mouths shut and their correspondence secret.

Lying in class about their political beliefs and keeping online conversations strictly private are typical precautions taken by The Donald’s badly outnumbered followers on campus.

“Supporters generally try to keep it hidden from the rest of the student body,” said junior Dylan Perera, 22. “They’re afraid of losing friends, being ridiculed in class, getting worse grades and are even afraid of being assaulted and physically hurt.”

The computer-science major from LA said he was verbally accosted by a student who had asked about his affiliation.

“She freaked out and started yelling and screaming in my face, calling me a racist and a fascist. It was impossible to even have a conversation,” he said.

Another student was so concerned about being outed as a Trump supporter that he reserved a private room on campus — for “security reasons” — to speak to a Post reporter. He recalled being ostracized by his “radical social-justice warrior” roommates. “Their hatred towards me started escalating after we had a few political discussions,” he said.

As Trump spoke during a televised GOP debate he was watching, his roommates drowned out the candidate by playing an anti-Trump video on their computer at maximum volume.

“Either you’re on their side or you’re a racist f–k, in their eyes,” the student said. “I’ve learned just to bottle up [my response]” to such antagonizing.

The anonymous, 21-year-old Princeton, NJ, native said he was unmasked as a Trump supporter by a professor Friday, even after he had specifically asked in an e-mail that the teacher not bring up his political views.

“He was explaining what platitudes are to the class, and he brought up Trump as an example. How him saying, ‘I’m great,’ is a platitude,” he recalled. “It got a big laugh from the class and then he looked right at me and said, ‘Sorry, I had to get one in.’”

The singled-out student said he was “ freaking out and trying to play it cool and then said something like, ‘What are you looking at me for?’”

He said he fears being “shunned or attacked,” calling both “equally degrading.”

Disaffected Trumpers on the famously liberal 57,000-student campus have begun to gather in undetectable ways, through Facebook and in one-on-one meet-ups.

“It’s really decentralized” because “most people are too afraid to start an official group,” explained Perera of the “word-of-mouth network.” He estimates there are about 30 unofficial “members” of the Trump underground.

Another junior, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, said she typically steers clear of public debates that will reveal her pro-Trump beliefs.

“It can get hostile,” she said, recalling recent political spats between students on Facebook. “They’ll usually throw around words like ‘racist’ or ‘bigot’ about Trump and then call the students trying to defend him ‘delusional.’”

She recently was emboldened enough to “like” a student’s post that bravely defended the GOP front-runner in a Facebook thread.

Yet many are still firmly in the campaign closet.

“I’ve been too smart to paint a target on my head and take that kind of heat,” said one anonymous student.

“It’s just not worth it.”

Asked to dream up a best-case scenario for the broader Republican party coming out of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in mid-July, longtime GOP strategist Mike Murphy offered this one up: “Somebody other than Trump, Cruz or [conservative radio talk show host] Mark Levin as the nominee.” But, Murphy quickly added: “I don’t see a path.”

I actually would prefer Levin to any other Republican, people make fun of "Trumpertantrums" but Levin's temper makes Trump look like a Zen Monk.

They sound like a bunch of baby pussies if they're afraid to stand up for the person they support.

I'll never get tired of the cognitive dissonance it takes for conservatives to simultaneously play the "I'm a big macho man manlier than any other men!" and "I'm just an innocent weak person bullied by big meanie liberals!" cards simultaneously. Pick a message and stick with it—you can't play diametrically opposing sides together.

As a former computer science professor, I would have totally taken an extra close look that Trump supporter's work to nitpick stuff to take points off for because CS requires critical thinking and logic skills that no Trump supporter can possess and he's probably a poo poo student.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.

So in other words, in case of an incredibly close call at the end of the primary, we will have no idea how many delegates each candidate actually has, and ND delegates essentially can switch candidates whenever in the process.

Ben Carson sharing his unfiltered opinions on the political process, while not being in any danger of winning any power, is the absolute best.

I still believe he was the most dangerous candidate this cycle, followed by Cruz in a close second place.

No way, Cruz is abominable. Ben Carson would have just been an empty suit for whatever establishment GOP shills wanted.

He's too stupid to realize why sneering about how fragile little Trump supporters need safe spaces three sentences before explicitly saying he would go out of his way to specifically try to grade them lower on assignments perfectly illustrates the point he thought he was mocking.

I love how a career GOP hack, whose party has profited from talk radio demagoguery for decades, goes out of his way to put his finger in Master Shake's eye. It's like watching rats cannibalize each other.

Trump is currently 37 delegates under his 538 target to get to 50%. Getting all the NY delegates coincidentally gets him 37 delegates more than his target in the state. It puts him back on track, but doesn't guarantee anything (but given that he's likely to underperform in ND, WI, and CO, he'll actually still be under target by the time NY comes around).
