This is definitely true about a lot of sub cultures; it’s true in much of the upper Midwest regardless of political alignment. And it’s disorienting for students to come to college and find this is no longer true.
It’s similarly disorienting for students who’ve grown up with political homogeneity to be challenged for the first time about assumptions they never even realize they held. All of this is the good kind of discomfort, as long as it happens in that necessary context of personal safety.
