The classroom isn’t neutral under an authoritarian — it’s an incubator. There’s a reason one of the foundations of democracy is the separation of church and state. Control which religion children learn, what they study, and you control how the generation thinks, prays, and obeys Dear Leader.

What ties all of these historical examples together is the authoritarian playbook: distract, suppress, perform. Every dictator, wannabe or otherwise, leans on it when power is slipping through their fingers. Trump’s current spiral — the Epstein files, chaotic military incursions on American cities, desperate propaganda with war criminals — isn’t random. It’s Stephen Miller working behind the scenes to convert schools, media, and even city streets into loyalty factories.

It’s not a thought experiment, either. The stakes are generational because authoritarianism doesn’t just seize elections — it manufactures voters. The classroom becomes the factory floor, the church becomes the distribution center, and the ballot box becomes the product rollout.
