Te that to Kavanaughs wife or the hoards of braindead zombies who protested him as a rapist.

Exactly. Just because they lost the SCOTUS battle doesn't mean they don't have claws. I feel sorry for what Kavanaugh had to go through, but he also had to expect it. I know I would. The left is completely depraved.

What power do they hold in our government?

Aphroman, have you read the Federalist papers (all 85 essays)?

I promise your answer to this question has a point.

So Hamilton kinda answered your question, right?

Aphroman says

If you claim that Democrats hold power

The left holds MASSIVE propaganda power with control of education, MSM media, hollywood, social media, and major tech. They have used this power to divide us, brainwash our youths, and generally push us towards their tyrannical anti-american/pro-globalism agenda as per their american and international billionaire owners.

Luckily, Trump and the R's are in control of our government. The rest of our power-institutions, which the left controls, will take longer to dismantle. Good thing we elected our Trump bull in a PC china shop. No-one is better at exposing and dismantling these entrenched powers than Trump.

We MUST fix textbooks and mandate a minimum curriculum and intellectual diversity in HS and State Universities.

Must consider taking tenure boards away from Liberal Arts Departments and having a democratically elected - or appointed by Elected Officials - people pick Professors.

Wouldn't it be great if Governor Scott of Florida picked the tenure board that decided which Sociology/History/etc. Professors got Tenure at the University of Central Florida, etc.?

I'd prefer just to have federal money removed from the process, then allow the local authorities to do whatever they see fit for their children. If you dont like it, move to the next county over. Federally mandated standards mean there is no competition between localities, and no ability for a citizen to vote with their tax dollars for their preferred educational system.

Heres an example, go look at the state income tax rates in early 1900's. No state had much higher than a few % points, because the citizens would simply move to a state that is more favorable.

Within a few years of federal income tax, we had a top federal rate in the 60% range.

Get the federal govt out of education! Return power to the states and local leadership!

^^do that and the problem solves itself.

OR we can mandate "dear colleague" letter type progressive tyranny from federal regulators, absolutely decaying the value of our university system and turning it into a political propaganda machine.

Q music "we dont need no...EDUCATION... we dont need no...THOUGHT CONTROL" . (From an era when artists actually expressed real ideas and societal critiques.)

One only needs to look at the LAUSD budget, then test scores, to see that the government needs to get out of education.

Florida doesn't have an income tax. But I think we do need some state wide standards for education, at least for State Universities. We certainly need to fix Professor tenure, because it's totally broken.

Florida does have amazing Charter Schools, including some new Classical Education Schools.

True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

Let the Asians take over our education system. They know better.

No

Okay it's obvious now that you haven't read all 85 essays from the Federalist papers.

Hamilton answered your question in a very detailed manner. I'll give you a hint: "Mob".
