Nobody likes places where people learn and discuss and debate and are exposed to new concepts and ideas and people because that's a losing hand for autocracy and dictatorship.
So it's not surprising that our
you know, small handed autocrat here in the United States wants to tackle higher ed here.
And he is assisted by conservatives who have been, you know, obsessed with this for decades, right?
Like, I mean, people forget I've been writing a book for the last hour.
I mean, such a dumb idea.
It's coming out next year.
We don't have a name for it.
But one of the things that I've been going back at is the origins of the Federalist Society.
The Federalist Society started as an alt-right
college group by a bunch of conservatives who were like, there's no place for us.
It's an alt-campus group that's effectively started by conservatives who were like, the liberal campuses suck.
We have nobody like ourselves.
There are no like-minded individuals.
What can we do to reclaim a little bit of territory for ourselves?
And look what their Federalist Society is now, right?
Like there has been a focus and an obsession with the liberalism that is pervasive on university campuses and trying to rein it in at all costs.
And this is like just the most exponentially extreme example of that agenda coming to fruition.
That's the ballgame.
And it's all because of money.
