I would say for the most part they are conservative, but have to be careful coming right out of the closet.

Definitely conservative.

I have two questions for you.

By lumping liberal arts majors like me into your category, do you somehow feel justified? Second question, would you like me to supersize that order for you, Sir?

Given this is just a general view coming from my little section of rural Louisiana, but I can attest to knowing several, albeit older, farmer, rancher, blue collar types as well as a few bankers, lawyers, and medical professionals who are conservative as can be by nature but will vote straight D on everything from President down to town council and school board just because they always have and that’s how their dad and granddad always voted. I’m sure you’ll find that in other areas throughout the South too. Pretty crazy when you think about it.

Medicine is pretty centrist.

Female docs are more liberal. Men are more conservative.

Primary care/lesser paid specialties are more liberal.

Higher paying/more competitive specialties are more conservatives.

They’ve published stats on it.

Congrats to OP for yet another false premise on the Poli Board.

If you dislike mostly Libtard professions then you gotta hate Skilled Tradespeople, Physicians, Engineers, IT and Support Staff, Architects, Restaurant and Bar Workers, Business Ops, Food Service Workers, Retail Workers, Academics, Researchers, and all the others in blue on this chart...

But conservatives do love drilling them some oil wells.

one of the links I posted above shows docs as 46:54 Red:Blue, and breaks that down by specialty. Big variance across the sub-fields.

Most liberals I know are ideological LIBERALS that can’t face the fact that their party has turned into psycho progressive marxists. They’re good hearted and believe they’re doing the right thing. Likewise they think every conservative hates minorities, gays, the poor, etc and only care for big business. In short, they’re more southern democrat than anything battling the Rockefeller republicans. Dated concepts IMO.

The identity politics movement is pushing them away as it gets more radical. Vile shite like the comedian at the correspondents dinners and your typical sky screamer also bother them. The old school southern liberals are being alienated by the Dem party just as much as libertarian conservatives are by the Rep party.

An opportunity for these to factions to unite is emerging.

Most working class workers agree with conservative politics when they know all of the facts . We are all want free stuff some people don’t have enough common sense to know that the free staff is coming out of their check .

Yeah Medscape has done quality surveys.

It’s pretty consistent and unsurprising.

Men and the more entrepreneurial doctors that tend to go into surgical specialties lean right.

Peds, fam med, psych, internal med - lean left

Working class workers have been screwed by boomer corporate elites for the past few decades and are soon to be replaced by robots. I'm not sure how learning "all of the facts" will lead them to be more conservative.

The surgeons are jocks and lean right, whereas the nerds and minorities tend to lean left.

The idea that someone's productivity is correlated with their political views is preposterous.
