CMV: Nothing will change in America unless there is a mass re-education campaign put forth by the govt post Trump

Just electing a Democrat to office and thinking everything will be okay again is an extremely naive take Americans have.

These issues and furthermore the reasons why Trump won two terms is because fundamentally we live in 2 different countries.

Side A) we have coastal elites, they prioritize collectivism, a euro-centric society, and prioritize critical thinking/higher education

Side B) we have rural communities, they prioritize individualism, generally speaking they dislike euro-centric societies (aka anti collectivism), and are anti-intellectual.

These two sides simply cannot co-exist productively, but it’s because of the “states-rights” nature of education that has led to such a cultural divide over time

Inherently the anti intellectualism makes rural communities extremely susceptible to propaganda and extremism. To boot, their geographic isolation from global issues makes it difficult for them to empathize with anyone other than their community.

Fundamentally this issue has existed much longer than the last 20 or so years. Since reconstruction school systems in the south have told lie after lie about slavery being “a choice” or “not all that bad” or even calling the civil war the “war of northern aggression”. This in turn has created generation after generation of bigoted people, who just simply don’t understand history.

From the beginning, it should’ve been made a priority to re-educate the south, but they got away Scott-free. It is naive to assume electing a progressive democrat will make them see another perspective. The education department will need to systematically take over every school district in the prior confederation and make them comply with more strict and hands-on federal education standards regarding curriculum.

I’m curious to whether anyone disagrees or has an alternative opinion or explanation as to why this would or wouldn’t work. Or what solution WOULD work.
