I think some subset of the complainers would, just a similar subset of the left would use such powers. If Lane3 meant that all of those who complain against such professors or even all of those who call for the professors to be fired, or even a majority of those who call for the professors to be fired would use the coercive power of government to take over the universities and enforce their ideology than I have to disagree with her. OTOH if she is merely saying that some would than I agree, but than I would also find the statement far less significant. Such a tiny subset is unlikely to be a real danger unless they become violent, and ranting is hardly terrorism. And if you are talking about the tiny subset, than your words could be taken (or even intended) to negatively reflect on the larger group unless you clearly make the distinction.
