Nothing less than the U.S.'s survival is at stake, according to American journalist and author Robert Bridge.  In 2013, Bridge's book, Midnight in the American Empire: How Corporations and Their Political Servants Are Destroying the American Dream, was released. The book details how corporations work with the government to kill the American Dream. Now he's saying that the suppression of free speech on college campuses has gone way too far, and unless people are allowed to think and say things freely once again without repercussions, the entire country will perish.

As Bridge wrote  in an article for RT, "America seems to have reached the point in its 'progressive' development where those who seem to have literally lost their minds – much like the authority figures in Ken Kesey's masterful 1962 novel, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' – wish to institutionalize the remainder of the sane population."  And Bridge is not far from that truth.
