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.

Knowledge is the cure to conservatism.

You cannot simultaneously hold right-wing views and know enough about the world to have any valid opinions about policy.

I am not a right-wing voter and don’t consider myself a centrist, but discarding all right-wing views as faulty isn’t gonna help to bring about a healthy democratic conversation. I would argue it is in the benefit of everyone to make a distinction between extreme/far-right views and ‘regular’ right-wing views.

Knowledge is a cure for a lot of things, no argument there.

Right wing politics is ultimately about concentrating power in the hands of the aristocracy of the day or distracting the public whilst the former goal is furthered.

These goals are to the detriment of modern society and should be wholly resisted. The goals of modern society are to create the rising tide to lift all ships.

There is zero value in the right wing school of thought beyond the warning to not pursue it we all got ~80 years ago.

Right wing politics is ultimately about concentrating power in the hands of the aristocracy

Disagree. It’s about enriching the self. It’s about stonewalling or reversing social power.

It results in aristocracy but poor right wingers are not driven by that goal.
