If you can limit weird, then it stops being weird...
... I think Mesa, AZ was the #1 conservative city.
I'm guessing there is a strong correlation with higher average education level and leftist mindset. It's strictly an impression but....Tulsa on average seems more "educated".
This pains me because I am a big proponent of education. The problem is the lack of free discourse and diversity of opinions in the higher education community. I fear that the average college graduate tends to equate educated with being left of center.
Got a family member that both he and his wife have PhD's in marine biology. You can't get farther left than they are. Big time anthropogenic climate change proponents. If it's liberal it's good with them. If they have an idea that they think they can somehow quantify, the science proves it in their minds even if it just "leans" that way without being concrete. There just isn't any way to convince them otherwise. They eat the anti-gun group statistics up. When you illustrate how they've cooked the books on those statistics they are as obtuse as anyone can imagine.I think you'll find that depends upon field of study. Soft, "squishy" majors tend to be further left; hard sciences, engineering, etc.--fields with provably-correct answers--majors, in my experience, tend to be further right. Not a hard-and-fast rule, of course, but certainly my observation, and that of friends in academia whom I respect.

It's kind of mind blowing when you know how intelligent they really are. He and his sister were actually the subject of someone doing their dissertation on IQ down at OU some years ago.
He said hard sciences, not the squishy stuff.Got a family member that both he and his wife have PhD's in marine biology.
I'm sorry. I thought he was referring to hyphenated American studies and whatnot.He said hard sciences, not the squishy stuff.
That too, but the squishy sciences--biology, psychology, sociology, etc.--are also in that group.I'm sorry. I thought he was referring to hyphenated American studies and whatnot.
I have a niece with a PHD, and she can't boil water without scorching it and can't put a complete sentence together. She's really good on the books though.
