Not really random or fringe on college campuses. I guess the JPP liberals are very fringe. Good to see mainstream liberalism doesn't want to restrict speech even when it is very offensive--racial slurs, Nazi and Confederate symbols, calls to kill or deport all of (name the group)......
I had the impression today's liberals are much less tolerant given the very hateful description of Trump supporters.

Well Trumpcucks are objectively horrible people who should be regarded as Fascists. But the average Liberal believes that even those people should have freedom of speech. I'd also have to question this claim that college campuses are full of people who don't believe in free speech.
I was referring to college speech codes. These are usually the result of student governments that often consist of more activist, extreme students. Most of the students are not involved in most of that or share their beliefs although many are reluctant to go against campus social norms. Most of the white students are unlikely to believe the white privilege concept pushed in sociology, women's studies, ethnic studies, and English classes.
This is the intolerance I have recognized in many of today's liberals. Of course, it is shared by today's conservatives who see Democrats are objectively horrible. Objectivity is only apparent to 50% of the voters.
Both have somewhat distorted views of the make-up of those on the other side.
Democrats think Republicans consist of a much larger percentage of senior citizens, evangelicals, Southern, or earn over $250,000 than actually do.
Republicans think Democrats consist of a much larger proportion of blacks, union members, atheists, or LBGT than actually do.
