Conservatives : Do you feel like your views are hated on in the college setting ?

[Benjamin Frank 2.0]

YMMV but I think its more socially acceptable to be a conservative/Trump supporter today than it was 6-7 years ago.

If true, what does that say about conservatives/Americans given that in that intervening time period Trump has been found in a civil court to be a rapist?

1.Conservatives/Republicans attack educated people as 'intellectual elitists' or some such thing and advise to not go to colleges, or at least, to not take liberal arts. To turn around and be surprised that liberal arts colleges are dominated by non conservatives/Republicans is then utterly stupid. It's basic math.

2.Should conservative/Republican ideas be looked at with merit? This is a DEI thing itself. Just because a lot of people may hold an idea doesn't mean it has merit. The 2020 election was stolen from Trump or vaccines don't work or Jews have space lasers are all insane ideas just because some/a lot of people believe them. If you can't back up your ideas, then they don't have merit and don't whine about it.

3.Contradictory to point one is that there are a class of conservatives who do see themselves as intellectuals: those who have a fascination with the history of ancient Greece/Rome. The problem here is that for many this still leads to conspiracy theories and notions of the 'Great Replacement Theory.'
