Honest question: The Young Republicans have a poor reputation, and from everything I’ve read on BB, a pretty well-deserved one; do they have this sort of reputation among young college students?[/quote]
Going back to prehistoric days, yes, they had that reputation amongst the students on my campus. The term “troll” wasn’t in use then, but they were regarded as a collection of attention-hungry arseholes who weren’t “cool” enough to get into frats and sororities. These bitter HS debate-club nerds (a lifelong condition) also perpetrated obnoxious stunts to show how different and edgy they were (now it’s to show that they’re not “politically correct”). From my conversations with current students it doesn’t sound like much has changed over the years – if anything that perception has hardened into reasonable expectation.
