You know, the people who say this is a unique time, are just full of crap. When I started at university, in the third quarter of the last century of the last millennium, we were all commies. I mean that. My ethics professor, who we often got high with (actually that was lots of our professors) had us reading Marx and Lenin on the side. We would discuss these ideas with the janitorial staff (who worked second shift), who were mostly African American, and they through we were nuts. Don't forget that even Robert Bork was writing socialist screeds in his high school newspaper. What you are, and what you think, is not set in stone in your college years. All the companies bowing down to the leftist orthodoxy will find themselves hurting very soon. We have a very dynamic society, and things will change.

@turnerfamilyinozi Well, yes, when they are younger. This is a well known phenomenon. In the UK they are fond of saying that in your youth you are a leftist, and then when you get older, acquire a family and career you become conservative. This is actually well proven by the data.
I remember when I got a good job, got a house (I have had my own since I was 24), had to pay substantial taxes and all my own expenses, that I really appreciated my father. He was very conservative but did not really make known to us his leanings. He came from a factory town in Massachusetts. Many of his relatives were union members and fairly left wing (at the time very different from the leftists today). Most of them were not well educated. In fact, my grandparents came from the central Peloponnese in Greece with 4th grade educations. Some of the children went to university, ALL their grandchildren did, many with advanced degrees.
When I would go to my parents' house (it was only a few blocks away) I would give him a kiss. I was grateful for how we were raised. We were not wealthy, perhaps lower middle middle class. But we had a good life growing up and good support. We were taught to think for ourselves. Sometimes that led us down strange paths.
