You want to explain the people’s gullibility to Left-wing snakeoil, it’s simple enough: it’s the education, stupid. … Education has been feminized and emotionalized. – Peterike@150

Without contradicting or invalidating the case against post-WWII education/academia – a case that has some merit – I make two somewhat obvious points. There was nothing frilly about the Ivy-dominated financial services sector – style or substance. THE world of Big Swinging Dicks. Second, the regional strength in this country has been ignored – state schools and regional businesses especially banks. Enough said. These people and the businesses they manage and staff are solid. It’s the upper crust that got soggy. It’s raw populism but there it is.
