Tropical Soulvanglical's kind of keeping additional content regarding the Doomsday Election trope in the back of his mind before he has either a witty rejoinder or a slam-dunk case to make in response. Generally speaking, he sees what should be his political allies and with the Insurgent Network as using the logical fallacies of argument-by-repitition and emotional appeal. So in the meantime he gets back to the hot button issue of campus protests, particularly with respect to graduations and commencements. He doesn't want college grads who just happen to graduate this year to have to look back when they're 40, 50 or 60 and think, oh -my- commencement got interrupted by a bunch of protestors back in the day, and yet every other commencement since then's been hunky-dory for everyone else, and that's just not fair. So TSV's thinking that both schools and possibly life event photographers implement a commencement do-over at least a year from now or after the protests play themselves out. TSV thinks every graduate has a right to really take in that moment and be able to toss off their tassel hats into the air because that becomes a memory to look back on. Any graduate that's deprived of that very often feels like when they're in their first job that they're still in college because they didn't have that rite of passage. TSV back in the day never desired the commencement moment because he was focused on getting his own place. He felt like that was more of a rite of passage for him personally, but to each his own. He hears on newsradio how many college grads were kind of deprived of a proper high school commencement because of Covid19. They should be able to make up for lost time in a way that graduates going forward can never understand, and TSV anticipates the latter being kind of cushy and sheltered and not worth sympathizing for.
