Why do you suppose that might be? It wasn’t by accident.
They were *trained* to believe that. The shift occurred long before that.
Whatever Army TM governed political stuff, prior to World War II, pulled no punches. “Democracy is rule by masses. Attitude towards property communistic. Results in license, agitation, discontent. Mob rule.”
After World War II, all such pronouncements officially were all about how great Democracy was. One gem (among many howlers) I heard on a vintage 1950s Armed Forces Radio re-broadcast, “A dictator can’t take over in a Democracy. The people won’t allow it.”
They were also quick to admonish anyone for discrimination by way of ethnic or religious background. “Judge people by their character”.
All of this is now Verboten in the new Utopia they are building.
Totally agree. After WWII, the communists knew the way to destroy the US was to make them like every other country. They know what’s right for you and me.
They took over academia and it all trickles down from there. They know what’s best for you and me...just ask them.
