[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we PLEASE try to agree that conservative and even Republican does NOT mean Trumpian? OP is asking about "right wing" politics, which is NOT at all equivalent to conservatism or much of the Republican party.[/quote]+1

[quote=Anonymous]Do you understand what this conversation is about? OP asked why right-wing people don't have an elite university that supports their viewpoint. Several posters and I argued this is because right-wing politics in the US right now are not compatible with open and vigorous intellectual debate and inquiry.

That's why it's relevant whether these people you bring up are right wing and support Trump. This is not just a general conversation about intellectual exploration on college campuses; it's about why a specific political movement in America does not have support at elite universities.[/quote]It depends on how "right wing" is being used in this conversation.  If "right wing" is defined as some small, extreme subset that doesn't include most conservatives and/or Republicans, then it should be obvious why there is no "right wing" elite university.[/quote]

+1.   OP has never defined "right wing" despite using the term dozens of times in this thread.   Apparently, to the OP "right wing" excludes conservatives and Republicans.  So who exactly is left on the "right" if you exclude conservatives and Republicans ?  And why would you expect that tiny remaining slice of the population -- as defined by OP -- to have their own elite colleges ?[/quote]
