But choosing to go to a university versus a trade school absolutely is, the same way that looking at a private school or homeschooling vs sending your kid to public school is usually influenced by one’s politics
It’s common knowledge now amongst republicans that universities push liberal politics and their students often bully (usually non-violently) students that are conservative. Go check out how Republican public speakers and their attendees are treated at colleges. Sometimes the protests are so out of control the entire thing gets cancelled which is of course the goal. Luckily this has seemed more rare lately

This is a chicken or egg issue. You think conservatives by the tens of millions have been avoiding higher education because of the risk of contamination by exposure to the other, whereas I just think ignorant and disenfranchised people are easily swept up by a Mussolini-esque demagogue who offers easy answers to complicated problems.
