Yes. Yes they are.

In the counties that are home to the public flagship universities, only 8 went for Donald Trump. Three of the eight were SEC.

University of Arkansas
University of Maine
University of Mississippi
University of North Dakota
University of Oklahoma
University of Tennessee
West Virginia University
University of Wyoming


Added: Most liberal counties with a flagship public university

University of Maryland (Clinton +81)
University of California (Clinton +63)
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Clinton +51)
University of Washington (Clinton +51)
University of Colorado (Clinton +48)


Only the counties that are home to the University of Hawaii and University of Nevada were more right leaning than the state, although they both went for Clinton.

I do know that while I was at auburn there was little to no activist's. If there were, I didn't notice them.

When I visited Vanderbilt, I was quite surprised about the craziness in the protest area.

I don't think LSU does much to shape the political leanings of East Baton Rouge Parish. If anything, it probably pushes it more right of center than it would be without it. It certainly wasn't what pushed the Parish to Hillary over Trump.

Yes colleges are breeding grounds for liberals. But I don't think a college (LSU , for example) has much of an affect on the way a parish/county (East Baton Rouge Parish, for example) votes. Many college students are from different counties and different states from the university in which they attend. So they probably aren't even voting here.

As what poster YA Tittle said, LSU isn't what made EBR turn blue. It was most likely North BR.

Yes. A significant aspect of the liberal progressive strategy is control of all aspects of media and learning. People like Soros knew if they could brainwash young people it would give them a decided advantage in future generations and it has. This trend along with Baby Boomers dying out and the change in demographics in the U.S. does not paint a positive picture of MAGA long term in spite of the current positive outcome with Trump as POTUS.

Really surprised about Maine. Never would have guessed that.

Somewhat but there are still plenty of degrees where your upper level work is probably taught by conservatives. Mainly STEM fields.

Bubble is an innocuous term. I like to refer to them as "Reeducation Camps" for Americans, where every last ounce of Traditional American norms and values that may have taken root from their parents are exterminated and replaced with the new secular humanist morality and value system.

Nearly all of the teachers I've had from 1-college have been liberal sympathizers that let their personal feelings slip into their work. Not just in history class either. Every class. Science, math, English, history, civics, etc.

I went to LSU and it was astounding

So you're telling me college students voted overwhelming Democrat? Shocking revelation. Stop the press!

Link or did you do this yourself?

If you did it yourself, you need to post elsewhere besides TD. Neat stuff
