    Not just in colleges, but everywhere. I own a business, and I wouldn’t hire someone who is openly MAGA. Clearly they are ignorant, make poor choices, and are easy to manipulate, and I don’t want them to be responsible for any aspect of my business.

      I work in the O&G industry. Quite a few of the rank and file office folks are vanilla liberals. The senior execs are all Christian MAGA.

      Silicon Valley has the same problem. The professional working class is liberal, while the senior sex pest corporate ice chewers are all in the same insane Scientology cults and Mormon tabernacle choirs and Longtermist Transhuman Collectives.

      I’ve seen the same dynamic in health care, professional sports, Big Law, finance, heavy industry…

      Great that you managed to break into the club as a Normal. But I don’t see a future where I’m sitting on the board of a Fortune 500 corporation. A notable reason why is that I’m not working my way up the chain at Opus Dei.

      Or, less generously, they enjoy the cruelty and hate.
