The "conservatives" know that perfectly well. They choose not to do it because they don't want those things to happen.

Exactly. They specifically want public schools to fail so the good teachers end up at private schools for the wealthy kids. Gotta continue that caste system where the rich kids go to private boarding schools and Ivy League colleges and the poor kids get homeschooled by antivaxxers and are taught that evolution and climate change aren’t real. Followed by the latter voting for the former to continue and accelerate the cycle.

Also their voters hate every "elitist" intellectual worker with a burning passion, since they're not in danger of cutting off their fingers with the table saw. No, they don't want to help the table saw guys, they want them to lose their fingers, so they can point to them telling their grandsons "he didn't cry when the saw cut off his fingers".

The irony is that all what the conservatives do "against the woke elite", is actually very elitist.

Conservatives care about one thing only - to grift and grind people into dust, and steal their deal.

They absolutely know it because they use the exact same arguments to justify the insane contracts offered to CEOs.
