I think "owning the libs" is a desirable side-effect and not their main goal.

Their main goal is to keep the lower class voters ignorant and uneducated so that history can be denied and they can be more easily manipulated into voting for right wingers using appeals to emotion (e.g. hatred, racism, patriotism, way of life). This is of course to keep power where it is.

I don't disagree with you, I was merely commenting on their stated reasons for the vote, as mentioned in the article.
