We don't agree on everything, but I cannot argue this point.
Thanks brother.
Me: "Yeah! Down with Harvard!! They're DEFINITELY the only Ivy that went woke."
<looks around nervously>
I guess SECWAR decided Yale is also a school that everybody comes back from as a radical globalist. /s
(ETA: Another post said these schools aren't banned yet, but are high-risk and pending bans.)
---------
Broadly; anybody actually think people were going to Fellows Programs at any of these schools and coming back changed politically? I mean, SECWAR went to Princeton and Harvard.
We have a pretty radical graduate of Yale on this board...Committed Communist. Head of the Students for a Democratic Shadowspear or something. Radical Leftist personified. "River to the sea" and all that shit.
lol ;) well played
IMO, the real radicalization isn't taking place as much in the grad programs as it is in the undergrad ones. Grad students, particularly military members, tend to be older, more experienced, more critical, and more willing to push back, It's the undergrads that get it the hardest, and the most.
My hypothesis is that most of the schools on that list have very few "out and proud" conservatives. By taking away the .mil folks, you're even further reducing the number of centrist-to-conservative minds at those schools, and undergrads and grad students with a centrist-to-conservative bent will have even fewer role models and mentors.
At the same time, if there isn't a chance for growth and development out in the force between undergrad and grad school (i.e. straight to grad school after commissioning), then those minds are often ripe for manipulation. If I were in charge, there would be no one that the .gov paid to go to undergrad school go straight to grad school after commissioning, unless it's something like med school because it takes so long to get through it. Everyone would go into the force first, serve the entirety of their first commitment (normally 5 years) and THEN you can compete to go to grad school. By then you have some life experience, but more importantly you actually know something about the military, and probably have a better appreciation for American because you'll have been to places in the world that aren't some kind of glorified curated internship and know that America really isn't that bad in comparison. You'll also have a fully-developed brain and be able to resist the kind of political indoctrination that drives you to do produce things like this: An anti racist west point

Kinda related to Epstein, but more about cleaning out the deep state and the machine. Remember, the government has had these files for a very long time. They've had other files on this guy for a very long time.
But the point is, the last time this POTUS tried to clean out the Deep State it fought against him tooth and nail and impeached him twice.

And tried to kill him a couple times to prevent him having a second chance.

I have to ask, I generally thought someone being called centrist was neither left nor right, just one of us, the middle? It's why I laugh when anyone calls Clinton, Obama, or Biden a centrist.
I cannot find anything centrist about all three at all.

I've seen some dems (the true liberals and not the radical POS's we're seeing taking over that party) getting run off social media leftist echo chambers when they point those things out. They do exist and wanted it exposed under Biden (proof that there's in fact people I respect for integrity), but they are not the majority by the ones only doing it out of TDS and not because it's gross, ick, and criminally disgusting. That's why we'll never see them wanting the list when Team D is in charge of the WH. And it's a double standard that makes it why I cannot take them seriously further still.

As a talking point, Liberals right now really using the Epstein debacle to claim" MAGA has turned on Trump." No, conservatives have always wanted the Epstein files exposed and we voted for Trump (Bondi, Patel, Bongino, etc.) Because he promised to do it. Unlike the left, I'm willing to to admit that my side is coming up short on a major campaign promise.

So again, it's about TDS, because to them we're a "cult" (projection by an actual cult).
I just want honesty and not TDS or because they care only when it's convenient for them. I cannot take anyone serious when it's conditional.
