[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally hilarious when people think schools like Stanford, Duke, UChicago, etc. are rooted in right-wing politics...

Use this website to look up various schools: https://www.crowdpac.com/games/lookup/universities?name=Stanford%20University The ranking goes from 10L to 10C with 10L being exclusively liberal professors and vice versa. Stanford is ranked a 7.6L- as in highly liberal. It may be 234/446 out of the schools analyzed, but that's just testament to the reality that most colleges and universities are heavily liberal.[/quote]

You really need to take a class or read a book about political ideologies and the difference between contemporary "right-wing" politics--Trump, the Tea Party, etc.--and conservatism. They are very different.

The Hoover Institution is actually a good example. They support Trump's deregulation and tax cuts because those are classically fiscally conservative moves; they hate the tariffs because they are diametrically opposed to free trade. The guys at Hoover are conservatives; they aren't "right wing" in the sense OP is talking about.

Oh and libertarians despite much of what Trump is doing because it involves increasing the size and authority of the federal government. [/quote]
