A lot of them are trust fund kids.
The lazy, entitled trust fund babies get social and legacy admits to our best schools but many don't have brains and work ethic to succeed at that level
So they gravitate to the same DEI and identity politics that the DEI admits gravitate towards and for the same reasons
Getting an easy, undeserved A in the DEI programs dominated has more to do with strict conformance to the prevailing DEI ideology or cause de jure , slavish agreement with the instructor and fanatical devotion to activism to advance the cause
When they get there, the trust fund babies find that their wealth, connections and social status allows them to become big wheels in the progressive DEI political - industrial machine and helping their DEI allies get strategic positions in us companies ( often owned or managed by their families ) or other universities to spread and impose the woke mind virus after graduation
When the parents pass away and the trust fund babies get control of the family fortune they use their wealth and influence to push progressive causes
Lauren Powell, Steve Jobs widow, is the poster child for this dynamic
It's been a major factor in the infiltration of these profoundly destructive termites into the structure of American society
Just look at Alex Soros.
