They were willing to invest for the long haul . Most political donors donate because they want dirty deals with the politicians. You don’t make money from investing in turning schools into indoctrination centers but you win in the long haul .

They didn't fight dirty like the left did, and they severely underestimated their opponent

it started with schools
idiot republicans all parroted the phrase, people are liberal when young, then get conservative once they join the workforce.
and the uniparty made sure they never had to get off the gubmint teet so there was no learning of how destructive and pervasive anti-americanism is
they pay them not to work, so when are they supposed to learn what its like to work hard for a living and live off a small budget

They weren't "allowing". They were actively participating.
Many of you still do it when you buy merchandise and tickets for sporting events. And when you pay your cable/satellite bill. And shop at places like Academy.

As someone who has spent my entire career in education, the "teachers don't make any money" message was heard loud and clear by our best and brightest, and even our middle of the pack. Your local public school (yes, even you red state, red county) has a mix of:
1. The functionally illiterate crew who could only get through education school where you only have to take half the applied classes (18 hours vs 36). They usually end up in elementary schools and probably couldn't pass the tests that they are preparing their kids for.
2. The crew that peaked in high school and wants to live in those days every day for the rest of their life (This is where you're sleeping with students normally comes from).
3. Athletes who made their entire world about playing a sport, and end up barely passing the PRAXIS so they can teach history and be a defensive back coach for a 3A high school.
4. The smart kids that were bullied in high school for being weird. Now being weird is an identity that they can expose your kids to. They normally are librarians teach English, Music or Theatre but really teach Woke.
As a society we argue more about Trump vs. Biden than our School Board candidates, so Marxists that say they love our kids get elected to school boards. Those school boards hire superintendents that are just as Marxist as they are. And those superintendents hire woke principals and administrators that run $20 million budgets but couldn't run the graveyard shift at a Taco Bell.
A good teacher comes along and if they have the right politics, they are encouraged to get an administration license to "move on up." If they are Republican, they are tolerated as long as they are silent until they are burned out and choose another career.
When I was in K-12 education, I witnessed the takeover from a conservative superintendent to a liberal. She was ruthless. Within 30 days she had her people in the key positions (Curriculum director, HR director, etc.) and had fired the ones that she thought would be vocal about her changes.
In 6 years she almost destroyed one of the best school districts in MS. She settled with the ACLU on a bullshite case and opened up a can of worms that allowed local private schools to triple enrollment.

I personally think it’s because they weren’t very lucrative career options, and so we put our values more on making money than who’s teaching our children or controlling the narratives being shoved down America’s throats.
As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, it’s leaned left for a really long time. It’s just never had the power it has over people, and because Americans always had very strong values years ago, only had 2 or 3 channels to pick from on television, they had to be careful how to go about subverting those values without enraging viewers, always chipping away little by little, and making their messages more and ore palatable at every passing generation until they could unashamedly begin to unveil the real sickness inside of them. It’s been a constant cultural erosion they’ve been practicing. They like to portray themselves as simply reflection the culture and values of the day, but that’s a bald faced LIE. They are those who form that in a people whose family unit has been compromised so over the years, and who hold less sway on them as what their society and government says is true.

colleges, schools, media
Colleges and schools were always left because conservatives get working jobs. Leftists can't cut it in the real world so they have to teach or get government jobs. The entertainment/ media industry is run by non religious Jews who always vote left.
What gets me is finance and industry. My guess is they pander to whatever sells to the teenagers and young adults who've been brainwashed by the media.

For all the downvoters or history illiterate, I recommend the book "Stalin's Secret Agents" by M. Stanton Evans. Does a good job of showcasing just how embedded the commies were in our nation / government going back to the 1920s
Harry Dexter White (real name Weissnovitz) being one of the most prominent. He negotiated Bretton Woods on behalf of USA and setup the IMF and World Bank.
He was accused of being a Soviet agent during his life but always denied it. Little did he know, however, that NSA was monitoring his comms and caught him communicating clandestinely with the Soviets. The Soviets encrypted these comms but NSA broke the codes.
NSA wouldn't release these documents until the 1990s and now everyone is an agreement today that he was a commie spy.
White was instructed to give nationalist China a loan and he obstructed it. This is probably because he was working to help the commie Chinese take over China.
White is just one example of many commie traitors in the government in those days.

Academia as a whole is group of intelligent people with numerous degrees.
Problem is they have trouble making it outside the academia world.
This leads to a make believe world where they deserve just as much as someone that can make it in the real world.
Eventually communism is taught to the brain washed 18-21 year old students.
and here we are!

Graduated from a small school in the 70's & we had a small but very visible number of "hippies. Quite a few ended up in area newspapers& even back then, their liberal leaning was visible in their articles. Take that percentage to the large universities across the country, but especially on both coasts, and many have by now been in editorial / mgt. positions. Jordan Peterson has been saying the universities are where the "rot" has originated.

Indeed, the commies in the state department we had working in Chyna all but ensured Mao would eventually take power. Really tragic how things turned out.

Not always left. Back in the 50s elementary school teachers drilled basic math, reading, writing into you. They didn't care about your self esteem. But they really didn't give a hint about their politics.
In middle school and HS you started to get some left swing in history...'McCarthy was wrong about communism', 'Indians weren't really savages'.
Even in college some profs might have been left wing, but they were heavily into free speech. Classroom disagreement was welcome. Today, it's censored.

There are whole books written on that subject. If you really want to know you will have to read one. It is far to complicated for a thread on TD.

Gaslighting and grifting elites in the GOP leadership who don't give 2 fricks.

The 60s happened.
That's the big factor in recent history. Many college campuses were radicalized against the Vietnam War where it was particularly virulent in liberal arts, journalism, communications, education and law. Those are the sources of the next generation of rising leaders in their related fields.
