In high school, Peter Buttigieg began thinking about running for political office, and he became senior-class president, valedictorian, and president of the school's chapter of Amnesty International, where he objected to the group's focus on "Ay-rabs." Later, Buttigieg wrote an essay commending the courage of then-congressman [[Bernie Sanders]]. Being invited to the JFK library, he met Senator [[Ted Kennedy]] who offered him an internship. Buttigieg was accepted to Harvard University where he became the student president at Harvard's Institute of Politics. The (very liberal) ''New Yorker'' described this role as being “sought by the most ambitious of the exceptionally ambitious." Buttigieg succeeded retired senator David Pryor (one of Bill Clinton's key political mentors) whom he thanked for providing “the political education we really needed." Buttigieg wrote a regular column for the ''Harvard Crimson'', in one of which raved about rap star [[Eminem]] who was ‘dumping it on White America,’ building a new [[narrative]] — aggressively American, abused, angry and alarming. As a high school senior in 2000, Buttigieg won the John F. Kennedy “Profiles in Courage” essay contest with a composition lauding Sanders as "a powerful force for conciliation and bi-partisanship on Capitol Hill”  and for his courage in calling himself a “socialist, "which, in today’s political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound," and expressing that Sanders was an inspiration for him.<ref>Brooke Singman (02/10/20)[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pete-buttigieg-dedicated-prize-winning-high-school-essay-to-bernie-sanders] Fox News.

Despite having no athletic achievement, Buttigieg obtained a [[Rhodes Scholarship]] which is a [[globalist]] grooming program that also trained [[Bill Clinton]].  (The original sponsor of that scholarship program specified that it be based in part on athletic achievement.) This obtained admission and payment for him to enter [[Oxford University]], for further indoctrination by globalism.  He says he found that supply and demand cannot be expected to deliver fair prices or efficient outcomes in many situations. Buttigieg graduated with the highest grade possible, though by that point the [[liberal]] [[British]] professors could have known of his preferred status among the globalist elite.

Buttigieg calls himself an "intellectual" and claims Democrats respect "institutions and rules" and "fairplay." Buttigieg is noted for his use of meaningless [[Marxist dialectic]] double talk and buzz phrases, such as "democratic capitalism" which supposedly sets him apart from [[democratic socialist]]s. Buttigieg has produced such profound platitudes such as "The shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue."<ref>https://pjmedia.com/election/huh-mayor-pete-the-shape-of-our-democracy-is-the-issue-that-affects-every-other-issue/</ref>

Buttigieg was running on a platform of what effectively are [[Anti-Family|uprooting traditional family values]], and he has attempted to promote falsehoods about Christian doctrine and smear theologically conservative Christians.<ref>Williams, Thomas D.
