...”The problem is not liberal elites. The problem is liberal idiots who have political power”...

Could it be that academia, especially Ivy League academia, and the leftist media are more to blame because they have thrown up the defense shield of propaganda around the usurpers of American freedom? The main tool of the liberal elites has been to infect our society with PC, which is nothing but a method to grab freedom from people and to criminalize normal behavior in the population. PC ultimately perverts and destroys.

That is exactly the problem.

Yes, PC destroys, but it does not destroy by creating elites. It destroys by putting idiots into power--people who have no elite powers of intellect.

PC is effective in muzzling complaints about obvious concepts: control the language, and you control thought. however, among many I know, PC is a joke.

The unfortunate dominion of the liberal elites is in education, where the veil of ignorance is drawn over the eyes of youth. If they have no concept of true liberty, of rights which are basic to humanity, of freedom, how can they know what they are missing?

If the history they are 'taught' is fraught with tedious oversimplifications, glaring omissions, and a complete lack of critical analysis, how can they ever expect more than serfdom?

In the absence of a final reckoning, most morality becomes moot, merely a tool perceived as subjugation, and rebellion, not against those who enslave them, but those who would teach them freedom from the slaver's yoke, becomes endemic in their subculture.

It is this subversion which damns the liberal elites, for they have led entire generations astray, away from the bright wellsprings of freedom and into the dark corners of servitude to masters they cannot even recognize.
