Speaking for myself I was radicalized on the education issue by 10/7 but not primarily by the anti Semitism. It was more seeing what will be happening as we get several generations in to a majority of people being indoctrinated into...anti Patriotism. Of course I've known it was there, but figured, "they'll grow out of it." Unfortunately we are all limited to the things we can imagine, and if we hit a point where the majority of people, and especially the elite of that society, can't even fathom supporting Western Civ. it's not hyperbole to say that we are doomed.
Yeah, I now understand what time it is. This is, "the mother of all culture war battles." The ides needed will be coming from the right. The institutions and foot soldiers to get it done wil have to come from the Center. Run for school board, but don't act like MTG. Make a non stop ongoing information campaign, about just how terrible a value, students get for their tuition value. Do *not* allow yourselves to be identified with any one political party.
Life offers us few choices, and sometimes we must choose among things we don't like. If you continue your "Never Trump" position, you will assuredly get something much less to your liking.
