Alright... aaaaand? I don't see that means very much, at least when it comes to academia. If you do science properly, it shouldn't matter what your political leanings are, for example.

The *general* trend is that cultural elites are predominantly left-leaning and blue-collar workers are mainly right-leaning.

Academics & professionals tending left isn't new. The left always pulled workers & educated idealists. But the right's "populism" is just protecting interests and norms of workers (bosses) in specific industries jeopardized by tech progress and growing environmental stewardship.
