PLAY THE MARSEILLAISE!

Last fall, Bookworm suggested that the Militant Normals take a cue from Casablanca.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, the next time the leftist shrieking started, it turned out that the conservative speaker came prepared? I imagine the speaker pulling out his or her smartphone, turning the volume on as loudly as possible, sticking it right up to the microphone (also on top volume), and blasting the room with a patriotic song. Even better, those who came to hear the speech would sing along.
He recommended God Bless America.  That works better if you're a Philadelphia Flyers fan of a certain age, or go to baseball games on Sundays.

On the other hand, every Militant Normal knows the words to the National Anthem, and that it's a hard tune to carry makes it even more useful, as fidelity to the sheet music isn't that important.
At Ole Miss, let's say that the people who call for "dialogue" might be disappointed.
Counter-protesters at the University of Mississippi Thursday opposed a pro-Palestine demonstration by singing The Star-Spangled Banner and taunting demonstrators, drawing praise from lawmakers.

The pro-Palestine demonstrators were demanding the university divest from companies perceived as helping Israel in its war against Hamas. Law enforcement ultimately had to separate the two groups after food and drinks began to be thrown, according to Mississippi Today.

The University of Mississippi told The National Desk (TND) there were no arrests or injuries during the protests, although police warned demonstrators what their actions could result in.

“As a public institution, the University of Mississippi is committed to supporting the rights of our students, faculty and employees to express their views in a respectful manner and to assemble peacefully as enshrined in the First Amendment,” the school said.
The Militant Normals have been particularly active throughout the Southeastern Conference.
A group of young patriots stepped up to protect the fallen flag, it became the biggest story in America, a sleeping dragon was woken up and good guys across the country are fighting back.

Don't overthink it. It's not that hard to figure out why these rallies are getting crushed. These young men love America, cold beer, college football, war movies and they now have the opportunity to proudly stand up for our great flag and country against people who hate everything I just listed.
They're a little slow to catch on at Harvard, but they might be catching on all the same.
Outkick's David Hookstead approves.
Protesters, many of whom hate America, want to set up an encampment in violation of school policies? Fine.

Then American patriots are going to find a way to make that existence miserable, and that includes loudly playing The Star-Spangled Banner outside of the encampment. Good luck sleeping with that playing all night long.

This tactic is also tried and true. When fallen Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega holed up in the Vatican Embassy in Panama City, American troops responded by blasting rock music until he decided to come out. Now, an unknown patriot is using a bit of the same energy to troll anti-America protesters. It simply warms my heart.
He claims "the good guys are winning." Perhaps, or perhaps not yet.

Stand up to the radical ruffians.  "Nothing quite like zealotry reinforced by just enough information to be dangerous to lose friends and alienate people."
