Please check out, and comment there at Foss Force, what none else than Maddog just said, with Linux history to back it up:

"labeling the distribution as “anti-fascist” only heightens the concept that fascists will look at it."

My take: Because millions of US students have all sent email, made video calls, created videos, documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc. via the web on school chromebooks or their own phones, these people have realized they don't need Microsoft.
