I'd like to see this done on the county level. I would expect this to illustrate the urban-rural divide even more strongly.

there's also the self-selection factor - people who go to college are generally more open then those who stayhttps://www.niskanencenter.org/the-density-divide-urbanization-polarization-and-populist-backlash/ …

Feel this is getting at is just social network effects - people will tend to gravitate toward what the rest of their social circle believes. GOP voters drink Budweiser overwhelmingly, for instance - it’s part of an entire cultural existence, not abstract ideology.

And you need qualitative analysis that can be used to understand how people formulate their beliefs, rather than just the backward-looking snapshot of who voted and where.

College had the opposite effect on me: From working class/urban/immigrant background - Yes, met more well off people But “equity” indoctrination was real, pushing race/sex privilege is disgusting Bias on-campus made me question everything Entered liberal, leave conservative

Counter-argument. Universities can be much more homogenous than prim/sec ed, because while almost everyone goes to a school, only some of them go to college. Selection bias for people whose parents are well-off, one or both parents have a uni ed, interested in knowledge.

I don’t think universities are inherently “liberalizing“ by the nature of their institution, but they are a gateway and gatekeeper of elite culture. Right now, that culture is generally “leftist”.

But that’s not the same as “liberal”
