You expressed this as diplomatically and tactfully as possible. Great comment. It is indeed a political faction, the Long March Through the Institutions has always been real, has always been radical, and has never been secret.

The stranglehold on power achieved at ivy league schools will not be relinquished. And even if 90% of the country came to view them negatively the symbiosis/revolving door between Ivy Leaguers and Washington DC insiders would continue. Political factions vie for power, and use it to rule countries. The Left has attained power- media, government, academic, corporate, etc- and they will use it to rule our country. Its not a secret nor a surprise, just an unfortunate predicament.
