"But affluent middle-class Democrats now seem to be complacently
servile toward authority and automatically believe everything party
leaders tell them. Why? Is it because the new professional class is a
glossy product of generically institutionalized learning? Independent
thought and logical analysis of argument are no longer taught. Elite
education in the U.S. has become a frenetic assembly line of
competitive college application to schools where ideological
brainwashing is so pandemic that it's invisible. The top schools, from
the Ivy League on down, promote "critical thinking," which sounds good
but is in fact just a style of rote regurgitation of hackneyed
approved terms ("racism, sexism, homophobia") when confronted with any
social issue. The Democratic brain has been marinating so long in
those clichés that it's positively pickled."
