I protested against Richard Spencer. I saw masses of people turn out against him. I walked alongside and chanted with the Black Student Union, until they discontinued their protest for fear of their own safety. I then waited for an hour to get into Spencer’s event. While I waited I listened to him speak- broadcast on an Instagram live video. I waited so that I could make it to the Questions and Answers portion of his talk. My mind was a flurry with questions. Yet, when I stepped into the auditorium I was horrified. I was so aghast at the lies and the fallacies he was spewing- all of his horrifying alt-facts. I was tormented by the way he denounced those with any opposing views that discredited his ideologies. He claimed those views to be boring and those facts to be unimportant, shooing people off the microphone by shaming them. He treated anyone with an opposing view as inferior- that they did not deserve his time or energy.
