At my kid's school (he's a business major) it was a required class to fulfill distribution requirements. Yes that is the typical college experience.

Do you think the college landscape and political landscape has changed in the 25 years since you've been in college? 1
SectionC3 Posted September 16 Posted September 16 44 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: I have not accused anyone of “manipulating” young people. That’s a matter of your inability to read with discernment. I have stated that 18yo’s show up on campus not knowing how to cross the street safely and find themselves in an atmosphere OVERWHELMINGLY liberal in nature. That is not debatable. You want to imagine that has no bearing on the personal development of young people. Weird position to hold. Nope. I don't. You project that. Or want to think that. Or something else. Point is, the "liberal" viewpoint historically was predominant at institutions of higher learning. But maybe that has started to change in the past several years. And, if the "liberal" viewpoint previously was a problem, then t's fair to ask why the "conservative" viewpoint that apparently now is much more prevalent on campus and on line somehow is not seen the same was as the former viewpoint.

You’re desperate. There’s no “was” predominant. The word is IS. There’s no debate on the prevailing political position of university faculties. Good lord. 1

Influencers nowadays can be anyone--professors, the Kardashians, and anyone with a microphone and an audience. Like Kirk. How much of his content is consumed at universities? My guess is a lot based on what I read here.

Your last sentence definitely holds some truth.

You should avail yourself of some of it rather than making 5 minute judgements on people. Or basing anything on what you read here. Obviously. This does nothing to alter the political ideology of the faculties at the vast majority of institutions of higher learning. Nobody is debating that fact. 1

The question is whether "right wing" influencers, like Kirk, now have more time on task or impressions or whatever you'd like to call with metric than do college professors with college students.

Maybe future elections will tell that story. If it’s actually been the case for a while, it’s obviously working. The democrats are toxic at this point - and that’s with a jackass like Donald Trump running the show. Maybe the democrats need people like you, Roundy, Redhawk, TH3, and Joshypoo to get out front and spread the gospel.
