Ok, but look at Harvard's alumni. They seem to be the number one producer of real life super villains.
Is the problem Harvard, or that rich and powerful people send their kids to the most prestigious schools in the world?
Yes yes harvard sniffs its own farts and is pretentious yada yada but the fact is if you graduate harvard, your life is way fucking easier because of the respect it commands and the hands you shake while you're there. Plain and simple.
What I will find interesting in 20-30 years is if this rejection of "liberal indoctrination" will lead to more conservatives not sending their kids to the most prestigious schools that don't capitulate to their culture war. Conservative universities of any quality debatably exist as it is, they're hardly investing in them currently either. So Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc. still hold the keys to the US's upper echelon.
TL;DR: rich and powerful people will send their kids to the schools that allow their kids to more easily be rich and powerful. For all their talk of how college is a scam and dominated by liberals, they still keep sending their kids there.
There are seperate MAGAs for the peasants and the elite.
