      This argument doesn’t hold water. The largest demographic backing trump is the boomers who have not been in the education system for 40-50 years. You’re telling me the pinnacle of our education system was before 1960? I just don’t buy that argument.

      Should we improve our education system? Absolutely! Is it the single contributor to the worldwide authoritarian pivot of the last decade? No.
