Here’s the education of the guy who heads the think tank that made this bullshit up:

Roberts earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a Master of Arts in history from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in American history from University of Texas at Austin.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Roberts_(academic)

So basically, a history professor with 3rd rate qualifications from 4th rate universities.

No experience or knowledge in politics whatsoever.

If this is the garbage that actually sparks off the next US civil war, I will lose my fucking mind at the stupidity of it all.

He’s the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.

That’s much more important than what his PhD was on.

O rly? Do tell how they are so influential-- without quoting their marketing material.

And if they have any influence whatsoever, frankly that makes it worse.

The Heritage Foundation has been providing fascists with talking points and directing policy.

I’m sorry, what’s up bro?

I’ll never get this snob-tier shit, where you need to go to Eaton, Cambridge, and Oxford before we can take your bigotry seriously.

There are plenty of first tier universities in the US. Shame this guy couldn’t get in to any of them
