The view that college campuses are hotbeds of radical leftists and Antifa is a myth. The media likes to show them because they do stupid shit thats filmable. Colleges are a condensed mixing pot of different cultures and ideas, so its not surprising that students develop a more tolerant, all inclusive worldview which is far more akin to democrat than republican.
Also people like to malign teachers with "they are all marxists". When is the last time you took a college course? Theres not alot of room for ideology in 75 percent of the studies, and the other 25% are literally designed for the democrat friendly systems of support and care.
business, engineering, science, medicine - wheres the ideology
social services, arts and humanities, etc -obviously more friendly to diversity.
People need to drop the pejorative "marxist" from their vocabulary. It's thrown around to slight anyone who believes in universal healthcare, minimum wage etc, when in reality only tiny numbers want us to be like Venezuela or 1950's china. If you want to talk about radical leftists it also depends where you are. Berkeley? a campus of 20,000 might have 150 that will rally as Antifa. UCLA, USC, Texas AnM, you are down to a few dozen guys in their pajamas
me: fiscal republican, socially democrat. Business major.
