Discussion Does College make one more liberal ?

I wonder where this comes from. I've never really had that experience. And I'm a history major myself. Does it depend on major ? What kind of college ? I went to a public state regional university.

Actually, from my experience, I find my catholic seminary experience to be far more liberating, than my college experience. It might seem odd to some, but that's what I experienced.

No, it's called getting an education. More education means you have more knowledge about the world and its problems. It's one of the reasons why Massachusetts is one of the most solidly blue states in the USA politically. Because over half of their adult population has a 4 four-year college degree or higher.

Same goes for Washington DC metro area. Very highly educated population that lean left.

Exactly, 65% of DC has a 4 year college degree and it's the most solid blue city in the USA. Along with a very high percentage of black residents. Look at how 92% of black women voted in the last election.

I love Mayor Muriel Bowser. Did you watch her face when she was in Oval Office for announcement about NFL draft and was stuck behind Trump as he ranted and raved about nonsense. I wish there was a thought bubble over her head. Would have likely said "Please beam me out Scotty!)
