One of the more silly things they believe is that they are persecuted because the right wing does not have the same representation as ‘the left’ This is false because almost all econ and most policy sci and IR departments would qualify as right wing. However, the right moved further right so the conservative view isn’t held by many Republicans now. Also, we have business schools on many campuses, etc. In addition, we have very few ‘truly left’ professors. However, we do have a high concentration of people that vote Democrat. But it’s also not necessarily something we can do much about in a free society! You have to persuade people of your views. They aren’t persuading people of their views. It just seems very silly to think that the failure to persuade enough people in a certain sector of society where everyone is very evidence-sensitive and you deny the theory of evolution, climate change, etc. turns out to be THEIR FAULT.
