So maybe I have my own idea of how a 1T can be: diverse in opportunities based upon talent but without oppression; accepting of cultural and religious diversity; respectful of formal learning; family-friendly because such gives security to the people who most need it; giving plenty of room for small business; accepting of divergences that do no harm (can I compare Asperger's syndrome to homosexuality? Both are harmless to the overall society, and nobody would ever choose either. They can make pariahs out of people who might otherwise make worthy contributions).
And surely contemptuous of Donald Trump for being its antithesis!

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
