From the very beginning, the Left loves, and I mean really loves, thinking that they are superior to others.
The essence of Democrat slavery was that white people were superior and blacks should be slaves. They even claimed that blacks were better off as slaves to white Democrats than they were on their own.
After slavery, the same principle applied and the Democrats embraced Jim Crow. The essence of segregation was the superiority of white Democrats to blacks.
Then racism fell out of favor.
The new principle is that Leftists/Democrats are smarter, wiser, and generally better people. Since skin color is no longer justification for this feeling, they choose to justify it with pieces of paper they hang on their wall.
If you go to one of their Leftist elite schools you are a better, superior person, who exists on a higher plane that your fellow men who didn’t go to prestigious universities.
Hence this Tweet thread:
Several points.
First, I have never heard a Conservative say to a kid getting good grades “you’re acting liberal.” That’s a ridiculous strawman.
Second, it’s utterly wrong to equate the prestige of a university with IQ.
The Left loves exclusivity and to segregate themselves from those they believe are less than they are.
The most prestigious universities are outright hostile to conservatives. Few decide to go there to work as professors or study as students.
They become simply Leftist echo chambers that convinced themselves they are that because they are so smart, not intolerant and hostile to those they disagree with.
Harvard isn’t filled with the smartest kids. Its filled with mostly above average IQ kids who cone from wealthy and well connected Liberal families from those regions of the country.
Don’t tell me Harvard is exclusively America’s highest IQ students when David Hogg is there.
I’d go further and say that the selection of majors at these schools doesn’t appeal to conservatives outside a few programs like law and medicine.
If you really want to learn chemistry or engineering, you don’t go to Harvard.
Reality is that there are many very smart kids who are at other schools not because they lack the brains to get into Harvard but because they lack parents with money and influence.
So they go to big state schools which are considered less prestigious and therefore are not echo chambers of Leftism.
I’d stack the brain power of a Missouri Tech, Purdue, U Alabama Huntsville, or any other flyover country school if mines and technology against any Ivy League kid any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Anyone who watched the videos of Yale students shrieking Woke platitudes at Nicholas Christakis over his Halloween costume email can’t think those kids are geniuses.
Neither were the Yale kids who protested Justice Brett Kavanagh teaching a class there demonstrating their intelligence by having screaming temper tantrums and hiding in safe spaces with cookies and play dough.
They were demonstrating their Leftism in an echo chamber.
The simple answer to this mostly rhetorical question is:
Ivy Leagues drive out anyone who isn’t a Leftist with a campus culture.
Ivy Leagues see only Leftists on campus and say therefore Leftists are the smartest based on past rankings.
Honestly, this is one of the reasons why my administration will seize the Ivy League endowments, to spite this academic hot box where Leftists go to inhale their own farts.
