That may be true at the strategic level to some extent, but cynicism is not the same as intelligence. Is your position that The Leadership, Mike Pence, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are actually brain trusts and evil geniuses? That doesn't seem to be the case even for their rich supporters. I don't think the Kochs are idiots, but the people who serve them certainly seem to be stupid and cynical. Who really benefits if teachers are turned into armed guards? This is a policy that will lead to failure. We have teachers running off romantically with students. What about when they can shoot ones that piss them off? Anyone who has ever used a Swiss Army Knife knows it isn't very good at any of the things it does, but it is better than nothing. That is what the Republican donors got.
