Another factor is peer pressure

College professors are 99 percent left wing.

Law school professors are 95 percent left wing.

Medical schools have embraced diversity and equity.

Is it any wonder that recent graduates are mostly left wing?

Silicon Valley is 85 percent left wing.

Hollywood is 90 percent left wing.

How can any institution be 90 percent one sided without peer pressure or something more insidious?

If you are only exposed to one side your opinions will be one sided

Another thing I have noticed is lack of civil discourse. I’ve noticed in the last 20 years people will engage in ad hominem attacks more quickly and frequently. People are quick to blame social media but I think that’s the symptom not the cause.

Try having a discussion about immigration or affirmative action without anyone playing the race card.
