It seems a little harsh to blame everything that’s wrong with modern politics on the Ivy league. After all, correlation does not imply causation- the fact that the people who lead our country are the ones leading the country is probably a result of various personality traits (ambition, talent, etc) that are also responsible for a) them attending Ivy league schools and b) whatever you say is wrong with American politics. There is some very troubling stuff that goes on at Ivy League schools, but I would argue that we’re only aware of that because they receive the most publicity and that in many ways equally bad or even worse things are happening at almost every university in the country. Sure, many of the top politicians in this country (including some very unpleasant ones) have an Ivy league degree in common, but a radical feminist could just as easily claim that the thing that makes them nasty is the Y chromosome that even more of them have in common.
