Knowledge is power and the left has decided that its easier to idiotize the population than it is to gain knowledge for themselves.
I believe this is why we will win in the end because we continue to gain knowledge. (However we still have to regain control of teaching and science)
Keep them dumb and dependent.
They won’t rise up and toss the Dems (or GOPe) out of office for running up trillions of dollars in debt for promises of another handout check.
And academia has applied a politically correct litmus test to determine who will be hired and what they can say. Fall out of step and you are a “denier”, one who ignores “scientific consensus” (the equivalent of a flat earther, who once held consensus BTW, and in the words of RFK Jr. “a traitor”).
