Jeff Timmer, former chair of the Michigan GOP, who has soured on the party and backed President Joe Biden, said it's at the school level where he has grown increasingly concerned about radicalization.

"If these people get into positions of school boards, they will start to set curriculum. And that will have a long-term effect," Timmer said, adding that the push for activists to run for school board seats is "as or more alarming than anything I've seen so far."

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the country's largest unions ... said the focus on schools is part of the right's broader search for wedge issues ahead of the midterm elections next year.

"It's about constant destabilization, creating anger, exploiting the anxiety that people have right now," she said. "it is also kind of rooted in the destabilization of the institutions in America that have, you know, long been used to unify the country. Like great neighborhood public schools."

The thing that terrifies them is their own insignificance. Tax eaters they get to throw the weight of the state around, that makes them feel powerful, it blinds them from their own insecurities, they begin to lie to themselves that because they are part of the state, that they have true power. It's this delusion that makes them so fragile, so mentally weak, so easily offended, that terrifies them to their core. That normal people, are stronger, faster, work harder, have higher ethics, and have developed themselves into greater human beings than they could ever fathom. That's what scares them, the fact that their power is nothing but an illusion, and deep down, they're simply as weak as they are old.

Power is force, the ability to use it, and the ability to appeal to its use for influence.

Heinelein was right, force is the only thing that matters.

Energy, no force, no power without energy. All other forms of power not based on energy is an illusion.
