In a 2021 speech titled “The Universities Are the Enemy,” then–Senate candidate J. D. Vance declared that universities, as left-wing gatekeepers of truth and knowledge, “make it impossible for conservative ideas to ultimately carry the day.”

Yes - universities are by their very nature in opposition to irrational positions borne of ignorance, hatred, greed and fear.

That is as it should be.

It's always "liberal indoctrination" to them. Because they can't understand that being more exposed to more ideas tends to make you less conservative.
Also, it feels like a tacit admission that their own "education" was really indoctrination. That's probably one reason why they think all education is such.

Because they can’t understand that being more exposed to more ideas tends to make you less conservative.

Vance is Yale educated and the professor who set him up with his wife also got her SC clerkships… He and his wife were literally groomed to be a political power couple similar to the Clintons.

Stop acting like hes stupid and uneducated.

He 100% know what he’s saying is bullshit, hes a liar not an idiot. trump is an idiot, and believes it.

That’s why Vance is so much more dangerous, it’s like comparing HW to Reagan. Both evil, but an evil elderly person with dementia does less damage than an evil intelligent person.

Agreed. He’s probably trying to mainstream Curtis Yarvin style insanity. Thing is that “JD” “Vance” and Curtis are a lot more educated than the people they are pitching this shit to.
