The University States of America - Greenfield

There was a time when conservatives told themselves that safe spaces, trigger warnings and speech bans would stay on campus. “Just wait until those kids get out into the real world and discover that they can’t get jobs studying critical race theory,” they would snicker.

Not only can they get jobs, but their job in government and corporate DEI is purging you.

There’s no real world anymore. We live in a giant totalitarian campus in the University States of America whose administrators are government officials and corporate leaders in which elections matter much less than catering to the whims of a young and wealthy post-student workforce.

College students went from pulling classic novels from college reading lists to rewriting them entirely as ‘sensitivity readers’ employed by major publishers like Penguin Random House.

The GOP leadership encouraged, and some times even insisted that voters ignore the leftist take-over of college campuses. As Greenfield says, we were told that students would become more conservative once they entered the "real world". However, that never happened as the graduates embraced Marxism and took that view with them into the work-force.

The only way to fix it is through sheer intolerance of the left. Get on your school boards, starve the universities if you find them teaching leftism, and boycott companies that be shown to be practicing leftism.

Other universities and businesses will rise to replace them.

Loud whistle followed by a splash.

That was the sound of the disUnited States going into the toilet.
This country is now FUBAR.
FUBAR: An absolute wonderful acronym from WW2 meaning Fouled Up Beyond All Repair. Only they did not say ‘fouled’.

The bottom line...

“Many conservatives made a catastrophic mistake by treating college as an aberration rather than the coming norm. Sixties radicalism did not stay on campus, there was no reason to think that its more contemporary incarnation would. And with a larger slice of the population being processed through the academic abattoir, the social effects would be much worse.

And they are. “

Unfortunately we all live on a campus now. Even if you’re on a farm with only dirt roads for miles in every direction your life is being governed by rules created in a campus government. The trends on campuses will soon show up in your regulations, federal and local, in the culture and in your schools. Its totalitarian grip is weaker in some places than others, but it is never absent.

This is what happens when the very average sons and daughters of successful people (who made it on merit) - take over. And why Jesse Watters is wrong about wanting to 'help' his children 'win' over a child with more merit. That choice is what creates ' Hunter Biden' type adults. And 'antifa' losers.

No they didn’t. Most of them I see sport a rainbow sign out front.
