re: Why do kids go to college and start leaning left? I have a theory.

quote:

---

I had a friend whose family was the most conservative leaning ever, like you cant have a black friend

That’s called racist not being conservative.

he has turned into a full environmentalist, 100% save the plane

Not sure what this means, but I know plenty of conservatives that recycle, want healthy air, and clean water.

quote:

---

College kids are voting overwhelmingly left more than ever, but that isn't even more point, kids are starting to think left more than ever because there's a hive mentality, and kids just do not care about politics like before, they just want to have fun with their friends and if it means adapting their philosophy to their friends, they're going to do it.

Young adults tend to be idealistic. This isn’t something new. Your “hive mentality” happens in conservative circles too. Humans tend have trouble recognizing confirmation bias.
